That is really kind - and a...Thanks ever so much!! That is really kind - and also extremely good advice!! I think I too really struggle with a sense of rejection and easily get hurt, especially by church leaders. I'm not sure why them - I guess it's because I hope for more from them than others, though they too are of course human!!<BR/><BR/>I will send you an email or perhaps a longer comment on your blog about my story of this year. It's interesting - and as yet, I haven't seen God's best brought out of it, but I trust He will! Yep I think you're absolutely right - it was the individual church, not SGM as a movement. I wonder if the problem came that we are in the UK and therefore a bit more isolated from SGM than the churches in America?<BR/><BR/>Anyway - will let you know more ASAP - and thanks once again for that lovely comment!!Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1135197415461801972005-12-21T20:36:00.000+00:002005-12-21T20:36:00.000+00:00I hope you have a merry christmas. It doesn't mat...I hope you have a merry christmas. It doesn't matter if you're single, you're not alone. Your church is your family, one big family, not a bunch of little ones with some single people thrown in. Adopt a family if yours aren't close by. I once was prophecied over (at the leader's conference in Brighton a long time ago) about how I belong at the party. I wasn't single, but have always struggled with lonliness and a sense of rejection. It was a great time for me when I finally realized that I belong to God's family and I'm not ever alone. It has allowed me to truly reach out to people and even think of others more than myself sometimes. So enjoy the season and I"ll be praying that God reveals himself to you and your church truly becomes your family. <BR/><BR/>(I would love to hear more about what happened to you, though I suspect it is more the responsibility of that particular church than SGM as a whole. I'm assuming of course that the leaders of SGM don't know of your situation. )julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688008902332240637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1135143929401468902005-12-21T05:45:00.000+00:002005-12-21T05:45:00.000+00:00I do think that is an INCREDIBLY gracious post - e...I do think that is an INCREDIBLY gracious post - especially after what SGM have done to you. Know that I was immensely challenged by it!! May God bless you greatly over this Christmas time!! JxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
