This is a very old Anna Template called AASPN_LayerMaskedbyAnnaTemplate1 , that I have never managed to find a place to use... A month or so ago when scouring my town for interesting Architectural things for a challenge I took photos of this church and one I used to attend...the other got used for that ...so this one was still sitting there when this challenge came along and I thought, the Red Flame would be perfect against a B & W building... The background paper was from Danielle Young's Black Market kit

To make it simple...here is what it says...

This is the building that holds the Church I now call home... The First United Methodist Church, it was first established in Redding in the early 1880s and is one of the oldest churches in the area. It has had many homes over the yearsthe current building being built in 1952.

This church is considered a Mainline Church and differs drastically from the Fundamentalist / evangelical movement which was where I was at for the first 56 years of my life. After my husband died in 1997 I wanted to visit another church which was one of the last buildings designed by the famed late architect Frank Lloyd Wright (see prior page Pilgrim Congregational Church https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=285010&title=2013-pilgrim-church-anna-lift-challenge&cat=all) after that visit I never returned to my roots and adopted this new way of looking at the world.eventually moving on to this larger church that offered an evening service, which fit my life at that time much better.

I have found myself to be on a journey of Self Awareness these past 16 years I no longer live under the oppression of being told how I should live my life but am free to choose what works for me and my God. I answer to no one but him.

We are all a product of our life experiences, and I find myself becoming more and more sure of where I am at in my life and the direction it is headed
