Betrayal is painful. Being attacked, mis-characterized, lied about by those you thought you should be able to trust is a horrific experience. It will take time. Lots of time. There are new experiences, new life to live, things to look forward to, in time. When we experienced deep betrayal, the first year I was in shock and very angry. As time went by, I learned that God has more for us and better things in store. It has been 5 years and I still have days every few months where it crosses my mind. Know that it will be slow but that does not mean that God isn’t working.

Hey, I like your honesty, keep being open with yourself, your family, readers and God. We’ve been hurt by others, especially in the church or church based groups and it is not good. I’ve been hurt bad, and this is what I know (sort of); Hurting people hurt people! These people are in pain themselves. Take a look at Ps. 55:12-14 You might ask, “who can and will be my friend?” I will. kh

So, I sit and listen to my husband prepping for one of his last 2 weeks as a vocational Worship Pastor…and my heart breaks. My mind is in turmoil and I am angry. Angry that something so beautiful, with such God given synergy has been torn asunder by well meaning but legalistic, authoritarian men. Men so consumed by themselves and the power they wield that they don’t really care what happens to men like the Shepherd and the Worshiper. It is with a heaviness in my chest that we come to mark this change in our lives. A change that in my heart of hearts I do not believe is God’s true will. But I still sit in hopefulness, stillness, waiting on the leading of the Lord. I know He is ahead of us, making a way for us, but He seems far off sometimes in the turmoil wrought by men. Dramatic, maybe….heart felt…definitely.
