It went OK. I could have quite happily gone in, used the washroom and walked right back out but I didn't. It took a while for my hands to warm up and I shook for a few minutes.
Sweet pea ... the last time I tried, I couldn't handle the flock of people who all wanted to hug me and welcome me. It was awful and I spent most of the time in tears. There was fellowship after, today for a youth leader who is leaving. I was going to slip out early because of that, but I was afraid someone would notice me moving around, so I stayed.
A lovely chattering British lady came to ask me about something we'd been talking about in WalMart one day ... bless her ... she talked until almost everyone had left the sanctuary and was snacking in the foyer. I walked out with her, told my husband where I was going in passing, spoke with a friend for a few minutes then moved on to my sister-in-law who was sitting right by the door.
I had to concentrate soooo hard to what the minister was saying to block out the general ruckus ... phew!
But all in all ... it went OK. I think I could do that again.
Thanks for listening.
