Last week I wrote of some struggles that I was having. It was a bad day that came to a head. Not all of my thoughts came out, only bits and pieces of what I was struggling with. Not to say that I am not struggling with them any longer, but I am feeling better. The post was not about anyone specifically, but more about how I am dying spiritually and feeling that I don't have anyone that has noticed. It's the name of the beast when your church is so large. If you are not part of a group/clique/whatever, then you're just a face in the crowd. It was not to suggest that no one cares. It was not to suggest that we are ungrateful for our blessings of generosity from others in the past. When you are struggling and emotional, words don't always come across as you intend- ESPECIALLY via a blog/e-mail/text. Who knows if I am coming across as I am intending right now...
So, I took the post down because too many people told me that I sounded ungrateful and as if no one supports me. That is the farthest from how I feel, so I apologize if that is how it came across to you. Thank you to everyone who prayed for my Mom. She is feeling better, thank you.

I didn't think you sounded ungrateful. You were reaching out in the only way you could. I would hope that others would realize that and react with kindness rather than judgment. But glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeletePeople are quick to judge. They forget about their glass houses.
ReplyDeleteI judge you. Actually, my boob and I both judge you.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Kristen, I didn't take it as you being ungrateful at all! I took it as you being overwhelmed and feeling alone! Trust me, I've been there, and still go through it! xoxo
