A few of the ladies that have been here for a while knew that I was married to a pastor. While we are still married we no longer have a church. I have to be honest in saying that I do not miss it one bit. There was so much pressure constantly to make sure we had :enough: of everything; sound doctrine, resources, communication with members, activities.... it just became too much.
When the decision was made to close the church and the dust settled we realized we barely had a marriage left. For the first time in years we have actually been able to attend church without being under duress. We actually sat together with the children as a family. I cannot remember the last time we've been able to do that! The last couple of months we have used to grow closer to God and one another, and also establish traditions outside of "the church." Sadly, I do miss the relationships that I'd formed while in ministry - things are different know and we kind of feel like outsiders...
Anyway I just felt like sharing for no reason in particular.
Continue in the faith ladies!
