Kristin, I am SO GLAD to have found you. I really needed to hear this - such a powerful realization! I've been really struggling in the midst of a group I've found myself in. I think it's important for me to be there, but it's hard to feel like I'm a heathen, to know that I believe *so differently* even though we're all following Jesus. I fluctuate between wanting to be like *them* (in full people-pleaser mode) and knowing that I can't go back, I can only be who I am and who God wants &amp; calls me to be.
