: yeah corey..well to be honest with ya..i am there too..i just have tried and tried..i know i have been a lil aggravated but i have tried to love and love..i aint perfect..i know that i am gonna brush the dust of my feet and try to regain strength..hopefully we can all get over ourselves and keep on and hopefully somehow..someway..we can get some kind of fellowship goin on.. : i invite you..chad..kat and anyone else to link up and somehow we can get together this sunday and fellowship..even if its prayer over some coffee...i just dont and will not sit down and let this all falter..i tried helpin by just encouragin people..and i think that we all have our places and our jobs..its to build each other up..or organize..or coordinate..or to lead..or to teach..blahzayblahzay..all i am sayin is..lets try to be encouraged in the midst of this grey fog that has so clouded the potential in our group..it seems only natural that the enemy would be tryin to tear us down rite when we are so close to a breakthru..lets regroup..recoup..rebuild and repair...more importantly..lets forgive..and lets connect together once again..and lets heal..we can do this..come one guys..i love you all..lets not let this get us down..lets keep on..and lets keep steven and cari in prayer also..along with all those brethren that are in our midst.. : -raulito the veggievore : : : amen kat! : : i read the message board while i was at work, and felt something was going to happen. i feared the worst, and naively tried to convince myself that we're stronger than that. but, i guess i was wrong. i think it's a shame that at this seasonal time, a time for love i remind you, we in our minds can find nothing better to do than attack those that deserve the most love and support. steve has opened himself to us and we've done nothing but trampled right over him. let's take a step back and see just how much he's done for us. search your hearts and ask yourself, have you ever known anyone to give up so much for the love of the Lord and the love of friends? i believe the answer to that is NO. steve has poured countless hours, dollars, and effort to keep this boat afloat. but he can't do it on his own. the rest of us need to pick up and do our part, otherwise the ship will sink. and so it has. christians, we're supposed to be christians. and i believe part of being a christian is to love one another. where are our christian values now?? in attacking each other, how can we possibly be living in Christ? granted, i haven't been a christian as long as all of you, but i did figure that part of it out. it grieves me deeply to see this happening to our family. and i must say, tho' i am more upset than i can ever fully express, but i can see why steve is resigning. why should any one person have to be on the receiving end of all this negativity. it'd be way too much of a toll on any one of us, why should we expect different from steve? he's not superman, he can't do it all on his own. he's been there for us, and i believe always will be. why can't we be there for him or even each other? we had such great visions on where we wanted to take our ministry. instead we've given in to satan, allowing him to feed our minds with bitterness and spread turmoil thru' our family. look where it's gotten us? it's a shame, and it's sad. please don't think i'm not playing my part in this, i think WE ALL ARE. : : i will continue to pray for everyone. : : i wish you all a happy thanksgiving, and hope you are able to spend it with those you love. : : ~peace and love~ : : : : : I could feel this today, I knew something was happening. I was working, I couldn't check the message board, but when Cari called me, I knew what she was going to say. Funny how God works. He prepared me in some way I can't really fathom. : : : The Pastor of this church has fostered an environment where you can all speak your minds, even if you get yelled at, you can say what you want. On the board, on the mic. You can speak your mind. So you do and in your pain you pick the easiest target, The Pastor. I hope you don't like what I am saying, because I don't either, but it's the truth. I don't understand what compels people to hurt people they love, God I am guilty of it myself. I try to restrain myself,too--- but I can't, : : : "You are the leader, you must be the source of the problem, I will vent/complain/rant/yell/accuse you" : : : Hey we are all human, I understand, from the moment we are born we are screaming to get our needs met, some take longer to grow out of it than others, ME TOO! : : : Pastors supposed to meet our needs, right? Our spiritual needs, right? Yeah, he's not supposed to give us a reason to exist, he's just supposed to guide us. The man has a vision he feels led by God, he starts a church, how strange that someone would want to have a place where people sharing his vision would meet. Odd? Especially for someone so transparent. Obviously if it failed, if people got hurt and angry, well he would be the one to blame for the failure right? Why would somebody do that? Why would someone set themselves up like that? : : : I don't know, a desire to do God's will? Bring people together as friends? Man could it be LOVE? : : : Why oh, why oh, why, can't we support this man? I mean how hard is it to set your feelings aside and see the bigger picture? : : : Well here is the big picture, God gives us the leaders with vision. We either grab hold and go with it or we pull the man down with us. You figure it out. : : : So, attack away!
