Paula, I have goosebumps from reading your story, and the affirmation that God is so good and gracious, and wants us to be close to Him! No matter that we keep trying to run away from Him, He still loves us!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, and letting us share your joy with Eric!

Oh Paula... the power of conversion and reconversion is so powerful to me - especially when there is a lot of hardship involved. I've lived a very spoiled easy life -- I guess God knows what I can handle. And He has given you the strength to deal with all of this and see His Hand. 
And I'm so glad for and rejoice in your blessings now!
