My 25 year high school reunion is coming up and I have had mixed emotions about that. Ray is preaching a marriage conference that same time so I can't go, but I keep wondering about it all. How can I let my friends from the past know about the changes in my life over the past 25 years? I remember my friends fondly, but grimace at the example I was back then. I have had the thought that I would want people from my past to either not know I'm still alive or that they know what Christ has done in my life. God convicted me of my sinful lifestyle and revealed Himself to me through the life, death and ressurrection of His Son. Since then my life is complete in Him. When I have struggles, I turn to Christ for help; when times are full of joy, I am thankful to Him.

Recently, I saw someone I hadn't seen for 25 years, and I hid. I didn't live a godly lifestyle as a teenager and I'm not proud of that. When I saw this person, I had trouble keeping my composure because of the shame I felt after all these years. I'm ever so thankful for the Grace of God that covers my MULTITUDE of sins.

Alot of people connect with past High school friends through facebook ,classmate"type" networks.You could set an account up, in your profile area kind of talk about your current life,your walk with God,your commitment to him and your family,maybe it would allow others to see your change,and the ones who were not uncomfortable with the change could contact you "friend" you etc?And you could go from their.Just an idea,may not be the path your wanting.
Thanks so much! The very reason I wrote this post is so that I can post it on my Facebook wall.
