Alienation From Friends Is Becoming Hard

[eustace scrubb]

i had a lot of close Christian friends, but since turning to Catholicism, it's put a wall up between them and me. i can't talk to them about it, as they're almost all scared that i'm doing what i am. if it wasn't for the few Catholic friends i have and this board, i would be completely alienated from fellowship in Christ. please pray that God turns the hearts of my friends and fills this hole in my support network.

one of the people in my house church's leadership went off on me online after i had an argument with him about things recently. he basically claimed that my recent depression was the result of turning to Catholicism. it had more to do with him being callous and not understanding mental illness, though. the head house church leader is very understanding and sympathetic of me right now, though, which makes me feel better about things. please pray that God would move in the hearts of everyone in leadership there.

pax te cum,
