Congratulations, Trusting! I'm so glad to see that you had the boldness to take this decisive step and cut off from LC completely. As you mentioned, it does come at a cost, but if you stay the course, it will be incredibly rewarding.
It's like being in prison for a long time where you adapted, learned to cope, but remained restricted and oppressed. Stepping into freedom can bring stress, fears, and possibly making some mistakes. But with that also comes growth, opportunities, and a life no longer confined by false guilt and fear. Now, God Himself is not restricted in you any longer and can lead you to many avenues that you can get helped or be useful in His hand.
I pray that God blesses you with wisdom and patience and surrounds you with loving, genuine people and a community you can trust. Be kind to yourself, allow time for healing, and never hesitate to ask for help. You’re not alone in this journey!
