From time to time we will post comments from Kepha wives in order to show the effect the apostolate is having on families. Today's comments come from Diane Fuller of Oklahoma whose husband and two boys have started attending Kepha retreats:
I just wanted to share this with you: on Thursday night, Joshua became very teary and didn't want to go because he would miss me. Carey has been battling a health issue that flared up, Elijah's asthma flared up last week, the rain was POURING when it came time for them to leave and I was overwhelmed with a huge dark fear that something was going to happen to them. I was so tempted to tell them not to go. I asked God that if these things were from Him and it was best for them not to go, that He cause our van to die so they couldn't go, but that if it were the Enemy trying to keep this from happening that God help us to persevere in the effort.
Well, the van didn't die. It took much longer to get there than Carey had thought and he couldn't find the church at first. He was so frustrated and was about at the point of blowing it off and getting a hotel room, coming home in the morning. I have to tell you, that old devil was extremely threatened by the prospect of the boys going to this retreat. He threw up all kinds of blocks. I am SO very grateful they persevered. All three of them had a tremendous experience. They all want to join Kepha. It's EXACTLY what I have been praying for - a way to provide my boys an example of men living their fatih.
Your organization is a BLESSING. Thanks so much for your hard work. Diane.
