God is so amazing!<BR/><BR/>"where you're not necessarily the "new" person or the person people don't know nearly as well."<BR/><BR/>Rob and I have been at the new church now for 8 weeks. I long for this. I long for someone NEW to come so I am no longer the spectacle and the person that ... everyone hugs each other in greeting, but not me. We come from a church that's close and I am so used to the familiarity there... but God had other plans.<BR/><BR/>After reading your post, I feel better, because you describe exactly how I feel on so many levels, including this:<BR/><BR/>"I don't necessarily "fit" the roles in their minds." <BR/><BR/>I am not like the people around me. I am not into their material things or going out to eat at expensive restaurants or fancy cars. I love people, but I don't love THINGS and I don't necessarily want to work so hard just to support a habit of "stuff!" <BR/><BR/>That's just one small point in a whole big world where I don't fit. But I'm glad of it, because when I tried to be the person THEY wanted me to be, I was clinically depressed (10 years ago).<BR/><BR/>"He brought me to a strong place of surrender."<BR/><BR/>God is so amazing!!! He uses Rob's time away at seminary to teach me more about Him, and about SURRENDER to Him. It's always an amazing experience for me to be all alone, and yet not alone at all.<BR/><BR/>May the Lord preserve your family, your marriage, and the peace in your heart.<BR/><BR/>**hugs**Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342377055845994067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19806341.post-1157201295042539502006-09-02T06:48:00.000-06:002006-09-02T06:48:00.000-06:00Yes.
