Hey Everybody,

This weekend I went away with the Christian union at my university. I went to just try and get to know people at CU better and to just worship God. This weekend was totally different from what I expected it to be and I felt God saying to me there was lot of things I needed to change to get to know him better, mainly putting him first.

This is the reason I'm leaving EWAC because I need to be more focused on God and this is distracting me from it. Christianity is not about a long list of do's and don''ts, and I don't wanna give the impression it is. It isn't!! Its about a relationship with God and freedom from sin. Over this weekend God has shown me some of my weakness's and this site is one of them, it distracting me from God for example I'd rather read your stories than read my Bible, and this needs to change hence why this is going to be my last post.

I'm really really sorry that i'm going to be suddenly stop reading your stories. I think you are all fantastic authors and fantastic people and I'm really blessed to know you, and count you as my friends. I want to say thank you for your support your encouragment, over the last 2 years you have given me confidence in my writting.Thank you so much for that.

Please don't take this personally it has nothing to do with the people here , and I really would love to keep in contact with you my email and MSN is spannyka@hotmail.com
and my livejournal username is spannyka

please add me, and keep in contact with me, I really don't wanna lose the friends I made here.

I am sorry for having to leave you. I'm really going to miss you guys

My love to you all

With love
Anneka

PS Ursi could you please unregister me thanky u

Awww hun! I'm gonna miss you! *huggles*

I'll add you on LJ k?

:heartbeat: Pat

Whew... I'm quite confused.
I'll say, it comes unexpected, and i honestly don't know what to say...

I must say, I feel the same way as Mena up here said...

This is just a personal thing, but I don't think your God is meant to make you keep from things you enjoy. However, if it's making you feel wrong, then I guess it's the right thing to do.
I'm not a religious person so really, I wouldn't know.

But I guess I should trust that it's what's best for you, and if it is, well then there's nothing else to do but support you and wish you luck!

I'll add you on MSN, you're a really nice girl and I'd like to keep in touch with you, as little as we knew each other through here ^_^

Still, you're going to be missed around here, I remember your inconditional posts and encouraging comments fondly.

So, if you ever decide to come back, you'll be more than welcome.
If not, then I hope that the things you lived here (cause I stopped thinking something like this 'keeps you' from living, since it has made me live many things in 'real life' as consequence of the relationships i built through here) will be with you and well.. That some good came out of this place for you. =)

Love,
Flower

I am not going to say much about this.
You know how I feel about it.

But I can tell you I am not pleased.

:cry: I'm going to miss you and your lovely comments, Anneka! :hug: I'm definitely adding you to my LJ friends.

Maybe after a while you'll come back though...*looks hopeful*

Anneka, you will certainly be missed hun. But kudos for making such a decision :) it couldn't have been an easy one...

(You're in my prayers :) I hope you don't mind, hehe...)

Tchao :love:

Wow. This came as a small shock.
You'll definitly be missed. I've added you to my MSN. Good luck with everything.

Awww, Anneka I'll miss you loads. :cry: :hug:

Can't you just go on some kind of a short biblical quest, and then come back to us after like... a week? Maybe a month?...

Anyway, I hope God notices that you're sin-free soon so you can come back ^_^

What's going to happen with LOFTERS? :huh:

:heartbeat: Pat

We will continue the story, never fear! Mena has posted an explanation in the Lofters thread. :love:

And, to Anneka.....I posted something on Writers United, but I'll say again here that I respect your decision, though I do not understand the extremeness of it. Putting God first is the most important thing...but, also, God does not want you to drop all your harmless hobbies, and the things that give you innocent fun.

It's good to become more involved in your religious beliefs, but I would caution you not to forget that sometimes in life you need a healthy balance of activities, or you will suffer from a burn out. Seen it happen, in exactly this same situation to do with religion.

We'll miss you, and again, I do respect your decision.

Dearest Anneka,

your announcement honestly left me speechless...
I won't express my opinions publicly, I am a religious person but not in the strict meaning of the word, so I would probably end up saying things that could displease you, and this is not what I want to do here.

It has been a real honor getting to know you: you are a sweet person, one of the most faithful readers and a great writer.

I am sure I will miss you loads, even if I know I'll find you on Messenger, it won't be the same.
I will disactivate your account, as per your request, but please keep in mind that any time you should decide to come back, you'll be more than welcome.

Good luck, sweetie.

:love:
Ursi

Anneka, I'm gonna miss you. I respect your decision,and I hope we'll stay in contact. I'll add you to my LJ list (lady_lacrima is my journal). :love:
