Jullianna,
I'm saddened by what I read up there, but unfortunately not shocked. People are often too selfish and self absorbed to bother reaching out a hand. Yet sometimes the simplest little gestures can make a world of difference and provide so much encouragement.
A lot of people would've certainly been bitter towards that church AND God if they had been treated like your family was. People tend to blame God for the poor actions of those who claim to be His children. I'm so thankful that you are strong in God even after all of that.
This past year I've often kept coming back to "Be the change you want to see", and that's exactly the route you've taken. I'm sure it shows where you live, and it shows right here on CC too.
