I read something last night in my <BR/>devotions that said we need to remember and rely on what we "know" about God's <BR/>character cause we may not always "feel" like we should. and this world <BR/>definitely revolves on emotions. So I am standing on His promises right now <BR/>even though I don't "feel" like it. <BR/>I love reading blogs and felt a real need to be able to connect to people <BR/>through them so I started to blog but I still struggle to learn all the ropes. <BR/>I'm glad you found your way to me. I would love to be able correspond with you. <BR/> Thanks again. <BR/>Amy <BR/>please email me direct so I have your email.

I just read your post where you were talking about "friends" being few and far between. As the Pastor/wife we are in a unique position that we can't share our feelings with just anyone or have just anyone be friend. I totally identify with you about wishing you could just go to church and be part of the congregation. I play the keyboard and lead worship, I have been the youth leader, the children's church teacher, the sunday school teacher, etc., etc., so I now only too well how you feel. <BR/>But God is so good that He does, from time to time, bring those special people into our lives who truly can be the kind of friend you need. And, even though you have to wear so many different "hats" in ministry, He still brings those times of refreshing. When you feel you just can't, or don't want to keep doing it, He will cause something to happen to give you a renewed excitement and a new zeal to do His work. <BR/>I don't think it's an accident that I happened to read your blog. I am a brand new blogger (just did my first post 2 days ago), and I just happened to be glancing thru the list of comments of people who are entering the contest for a free blog design, and I saw your name. So, see, maybe it was God's plan for me to read your post because He knows your need for someone who can "understand" how you feel and give you encouragement. I hope I have been able to do that. <BR/>Okay, I'm going to try to send this message to you and hope that you might like to write to me as well. I live in sunny So. California and I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing with this blogging thing. Hope this gets to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
