: : : I am sorry for involving others in the drama that can be my life, and for the effect it has on them. Please forgive me and pray for me on this. I once heard a minister say to run to the Throne before running to the phone. Perhaps I should give that more credence.
: : you're in my prayers.
: Why are you sorry? You should seek counsel from your brothers and sisters in Christ.
~~You're right, but on occasion. We are all only human and can only "counsel" so much for each other (without being professionals). I have felt frequently as though I have taxed my friendships with my church family because I relied on them TOO much. When people love you, then they feel the pain and anguish that you are going through---and I lament all that I have put my dearest friends through. The beautiful thing is that I know they would go through it with me again if need be. I just pray that I don't need to take them up on it....
