sunday i went to church.
it was the first time i had been to church (on sunday morning) since easter.
i really enjoyed it and i hope to go back next sunday.
it felt good being there.
its where i need to be.
on another note, but sort of the same subject,
i was reading obituaries the other day (dont ask),
and i found this in one of the ones i read:
"Mr. Bailey was the beloved husband of Evangelist Mary J. Gatling-Bailey"
now for anyone else this may have just been another line in another obituary. but for me, it caught my attention. im guessing its because of my women in religion class at school and all the reading and discussion we have been having. but more so than that, my calling to the ministry. its common place to see this statement in the vice versa, but this way is almost a little strange, even to me. even though i dont want to be a pastor, evangelist, anything that requires standing in a pulpit, the thought of a "preacher's husband" as opposed to a "preacher's wife" is odd to me.
and on another completely different note:
if you love the Lord and give your life to Him, your life is not yours anymore. it is His. killing yourself is being an indian giver to God. its you saying sorry God, i dont trust you to get me through this so im taking matters into my own hands. i think that is pathetic. God is faithful and gives us all strength to perserver through every struggle.
you need real help.
