Do you ever have one of those life events that seem to change how the world feels? I mean you know that nothing is really that different and life is going on just the same as did the day before, but something just feels odd. For example, my grandfather passed away this February and although I wasn't close to him, the whole day felt just weird. Or after I found out I was pregnant with Kayleigh every once in a while the realization of what was happening inside would hit, and things felt strange. Well, the world has felt different lately. Something happened in our church family on Sunday, and though I am not intimatly involved, I am still feeling a bit bewildered. Mostly, I think I am just grieving...for myself, my church, but mainly the persons most affected. It will never be as it used to be and as a person who isn't so crazy about change, this is kinda scary. Yet I know God is able to use anything for good, and I know He will bring healing in the situation. I am hopeful about the future of our church. I trust the leadership and rest in the knowledge that they are seeking God's wisdom in all of this. We will survive...in fact we will overcome!

Well put Michelle. It has seemed "different" the past couple of days. I wish it were all just a bad dream. I too have great faith in our church leadership and know that God has great things in store for Crossroads.
Miss you!

yea, well put!
I have been feeling the same way, like I can't look at any human being the same again, not even my family. Possibilities are too scary.

I agree, it has been surreal. We are with ya'll in love and prayer.

Once our leadership has worked their way through the labyrinth of decisions to be made, we'll have a new normal. Different, but good. God is in the details.

P.S. Haven't had the chance to see the baby in person, but he certainly is photogenic! Cute, cute.
