First off, let me say how much I love my fellow authors and readers.  You are all so talented, and brave, to share your talents in a public forum.  You have gifted us with your stories, which I know you have invested your hearts and souls into, as I have my two stories. It has been such a joy to get to hang out with ya’ll, and even develop friendships with a few of you. Every comment I’ve left has been a true response to the magic that was written and bestowed on us to enjoy.

Second, let me apologize.  I am a Christian, though you would not know it necessarily from what I’ve written, or what I read.  This is not a judgment on anyone else. I am not claiming to be perfect; goodness no!  I’m so fallible, and such a failure at times that I could not presume to judge other’s behavior, even if I wanted to.  No, what being a Christian means is I am not perfect, but I have a personal relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, and that I’m forgiven. I do desire to serve Him, and live my life in such a way that others will want this relationship as well.  I have not been a good example of what a follower of Christ reads and writes, but again, this is not a verdict on anyone else. This is my personal struggle, of which I have battled for years.  This is what God has been working on in my heart for some time now - for a change in my life, no one else’s. 

Having said all of that, I will be taking a hiatus for an indefinite period of time. I need to refocus my thoughts, heart and soul on God, and what He would have me do with my life. I will still enjoy my KPop music, concerts & dramas, but I will be trying to steer clear of those areas that cause me to think and dwell on what I know does not glorify my God.  If my music and tv watching becomes a struggle, I will take a break from that too.

 However, I do not want to lose touch with ya’ll, as I think of you as another part of my family.  I would love to keep up with you all, and hear how you are doing.  And if I can be of any help, or explain any of this very long note, please do e-mail me.  My personal email is [email protected].   I look at my email throughout the day Monday thru Thursday, and sporadically Friday thru Sunday.  I would be glad to chat with you, or if you need something clarified, I’ll be glad to help.

Again, please do not take this as a knock or an opinion of how I think others should run their lives.  This is just a brief (or not so brief J) message to explain why I’ll be disappearing for a while.  When I feel I can be strong enough to not fall into areas that I know would detrimental to my relationship with God, I’ll check back in on AFF.

Thank you all for your love and support.  You all have been such a big part of my life, even if you never knew it, and I pray that I will meet you again a better person.

Serving the Father,

Christy
