My Only Comment...

I have blogged for 2.5 years. Through those years I have shared just about all of my emotions, my concerns, my joys, and my triumphs. This has been all about me. It's my blog where I can write about whatever is affecting me. It's not a place of slander or gossip. Yes, I write to encourage others, but mainly I do it to encourage myself. I can look back on previous posts and see how far I've come. It's a testament of my journey through life.

With all that said, I do apologize if anyone has read my blog and thought of it as anything other than what I just described. I realize that several people have only in the past few weeks begun reading my blog, but in order to get a feel of who I am, you can't look at just the latest blogs, but all of them. This blog was not started to cause trouble, but for me and those readers who may be interested enough in my life.

I've looked back over my posts to see if I've said anything hurtful or rude about the current situation at my church. I know that in the heat of the moment, we all can get out of line. However, again, I did not see anything but my own personal concerns. I've said it all in complete generalities, leaving out any and all names, and unless you went to my church, you would have no idea who I was talking about.

I realize that not everyone who is against my pastor is talking about me. I realize that a majority of those people love me and would never talk about me. However, obviously there are some that choose to say I would brainwash the youth or even call me a witch. Even though those things hurt, I don't feel the need to rebuttal. I know that people are hurt and are saying things out of that hurt.

I do apologize if I've hurt anyone's feelings, but I will not be censored. This blog is not an attack at anyone, but possibly myself :) I will not stop healthy dialog, but I will continue to be cautious in giving details as not to damage anyone's reputation.

Let it be known that I still stand behind my pastor and I will vote for him Sunday in our vote for confidence. If you do not agree with that, it's ok. That doesn't mean that I won't still be friends with you or love you or pray for you. I hope you all would feel the same way.

Why do so many people choose to leave comments anonymously. Are they scared that someone might actually start talking about them, or is it the fact that most don't have the BALLS to leave there name, whether it be a male or female. I have always lived by the fact that I could really careless about what someone says about me. It's an every day occurrence. People talk about other people all the time. The fact of the matter is that no matter what someone says about you, you are the one that truly knows if it is true or not. Having said all of that I will now say this: Anyone can talk about me all they want, but when some sorry, yellow belly, lowlife, thats too scared to leave a real name, starts talking bout my family, well lets just say that they are about to bite off a lot more than they can chew. Now you can take that to bank.......... HOW YOU DOING!!!!!!

The Hurt and The Healer...Collide!

So the other day I simply prayed "God, if you aren't going to restore this relationship, help me move on.  I'm ready to be through with this."  A few hours later I had an email from him saying "I'm moving on.  If you want to discuss this, we can, but after that I can't speak to you anymore.  I need to make some decisions with a clear conscious."  And that was it.  Couldn't get more final than that!  Maybe if the email had come a few days or a week later.  But no, there was no mistaking this answer from God.  "You asked for it...poof!"  And there it was...the answer to what I had been praying for since September.  I'm not sure what made me pray that prayer that way on that day.  I'm not sure what made God answer the prayer with an email that quickly.  But whatever the reason, there was no denying that it was God. And of course, it wasn't the answer I wanted.  It was infuriating.  Why now God?  Why answer this prayer now?

The Next Chapter

My pastor decided to resign this morning. Instead of forcing anyone to vote yes or no against the ministry, he resigned. Those of us in support of his ministry left the Greenville United Pentecostal Church and are starting a new work, Grace Apostolic Fellowship. Our first service this morning was held at a local funeral home. After all the jokes about raising the dead, etc, we ended up having a great service with 97 people in attendance. We are believing God for a permanent home in the next 30 days. I am sad to leave UPC. That church was a haven to me during a hard time in my life. I wouldn't be the person I am today without many of the people there. Numerous people invested in me, and I am grateful. I will never forget the love, friendships, and lessons I learned while a member there. I will not belittle my past with bitterness and act as if it means nothing to me. There will always be fond memories. My leadership began at that church, and I do not take it for granted. There are

No Greater Love

There is a biological clock that ticks.  Sometimes it's so faint, I don't even hear it.  Other times, its tick-tock is more like a sonic boom in my ears, reminding me that my "best years" are quickly slipping by. There have been times where I thought the clock's ticking was meaningless because my life was headed in the right direction.  The good guy in my life would lead to a proposal, house, family...to taking my rightful place in society.  Or, I was applying for jobs in big cities where I could live the single life seen in the movies...just fun and friends! With the guys never seeming to pan out, I figured it was time to spread my wings and fly.  To become Miss Independent, far away from the small country life I have lived for so long.  And many, many people encouraged it.  There is no future here in Greenville, no real single friends my age, no possibilities for someone like me.  Then there were those that questioned, what are you going to do about "so
