The biggest thing I've learned at WAH? Absolutely, it's tolerance. That wasn't one of my words, but "tolerance" keeps coming to mind. I was raised in a very conservative church.....perhaps even legalistic. I've learned that people CAN drink in moderation and still love Jesus. I've learned that people CAN play cards and still love Jesus. I've learned that people CAN go to movies and still love Jesus. I've learned that people CAN go dancing and still love Jesus. I've learned that people CAN go to a non-Baptist church and still love Jesus.

I've learned that God's Forever Family is made up of all kinds of people who all love Him in their own special way, and it's just as pure a love as mine, even if they don't think like I do. And the best thing of all, I've learned I CAN have fellowship with those who don't believe quite like I do, that our fellowship is in Jesus, not in lifestyle.

Even more important than finding friends, WAH allowed me to be a friend. Never having very many female friendships, I didn't know how to BE a friend. WAH taught me how to listen and how to respond and how to just be there for someone else without the expectation of getting anything back. I learned that while we are all different, our daily struggles, joys and issues are basically all the same.
