“‘I grew up in the generation where, especially at high school, people are not really interested in God … I was over the whole God thing,’ she said.
‘And then for the next 20 years, I didn’t really think about going to church’"…
“‘What brought me back was about six years ago my mum nearly died,’ Anita said.
'The day she had to go have a life-saving operation, my dad and my brother were going to keep vigil in the hospital and I said, ‘“Can you just drop me off at the church?”’
‘I went in there and I was just really emotional and overcome and it was comforting to sit back in the church after all those years.’
For the first time in her life, Anita said a prayer that wasn’t about her own problems…
In her emotional moment, she felt ‘a big presence.’
‘I just started crying,’ Anita said.
‘It was just the comfort of being back in a church again.’
‘I didn’t realise that maybe I had missed it.’”
