Redundant
Well it's been awhile, hasn't it? Being an emotional and sensitive man isn't always very easy. I poured out my heart in my last blog, but feel I need to say a bit more. Redundant... maybe. Necessary.... definately.
Paula and I desperately seek other employment. Daniel is looking for a more positive venue of a work place. Christina is wrestling with some things. Sarah is distant from the love of her life. Booth is trying to figure some stuff out. Tilden and Stephanie are experiencing the joy and the stress of preparing a wedding. Janet is struggling with some things at work. Jason's heart breaks for Janet. Sherri, the new home owner, has opened a new and unsure chapter in her life. Des & Kristy have decisions to make about whether or not to go home. Jonathan is a teenager (enough said). Johnny (Hern, as I lovingly call him) is having surgery in a few weeks. Josh is overwhelmed trying to balance work, school, church, and family. Jessica is trying to get some music published. Chad is trying to survive difficult expectations from DHQ. Glenn & Jennifer have an exciting, but nervous road ahead. Staci has to put up with ignorance. Aaron has to watch Grayson deteriorate. Bob & April's house is one major problem after another. WHY!!??
We always end Worship Team practice with prayer. The past few weeks, we have really made it meaningful. We have opened our hearts and made vocal our struggles and concerns. As an officer, I felt like I had no support. We always had the Williams and the Queeners... our best friends... but no one right there where we lived that loved us. I know that corps people love their corps officers, but when it came down right to the nitty gritty, they enjoyed to see me fail. At that moment, it became about them being right.
(With tears streaming down my face) I appreciate people so much. People love me right here and right now. Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." I have preached this passage (Gal 6:1-5) a few times in my day. There is so much more to this passage than this small part. However, allow me to focus on this small part. We carry each other's burdens. Me and everyone I listed above. What I go through, they go through and what they go through I go through.
Allow me to be redundant and say, yet again, that I love you.
