'bout me

[mthomas]

Greetings,

My name is Maria and I left Idaho to become a WOW ambassador in 1984. Prior to that i became a believer in '82 and took PFAL shortly there after. I went to three ROA's, the intermediate class, advanced class in San diego '85. I ran the teen twig/fellowship in Fresno for a year after WOWing. But most importantly i loved God, Jesus, and the Word of God, and, my "father" in the Word VPW. My last year with the Way I started to feel like a fake. I looked all around me and saw these wonderful believers and the way that God worked in their life. I wrote a letter to Martindale and asked what he thought i should do next, Way corps, twig leader, etc..... and he sent me some wishy washy answer. I felt like a total loser. I was crushed (don't really know what i expected, kick in the butt, advice, leadership on his part?). VPW had died the year before, and I knew something was going on at HQ's but didn't know what.

I ended up joining the army and "running" away to Germany. I never heard from anyone after that, apparently i had made a very bad decision and hence was cut off. When I got back to the states i contacted one of my WOW sisters, was quickly brushed off, i was persona non grata.

Glad i've found this site, makes me feel that i'm in good company, not so bad afterall.

Welcome, Maria!

We've got quite a few folks from CA at the cafe, so perhaps you'll run into some long lost buddies. Regardless, yes, you are indeed in good company. :)

You're timing is perfect! I just took some cinnamon rolls out of the oven.

First order's always on the house. Enjoy!

Glad to meet you, Maria.

Joining the Army was probably not a bad choice! Hope it worked out for you, and hope you'll share more of your story.

You're worth everything.

Love,ex

Hello, Maria!

Going into the service was probably a very wise choice. Who knows what hurts may have happened to you, had you stayed in the states while the s**t was hitting the fan here.

I look forward to reading your future posts, should you decide to write more.

Welcome and I'm glad you're here!
