Please pray for me. I really can't get into details because there are certain members who'd react in judgement and I really can't deal with that now. I'm caught in a situation that I just have no idea how to frame. It's completely unfair, and i know we were never promised fairness... But I feel like I'm always the one getting the unfair treatment. It's for something I really had no hand in causing, but has caused a huge rift in one of my deepest friendships.
Please just pray. I may seem desperate at times, but I never actually admit it. This time I will. I am beyond desperate. This situation leaves me feeling completely hopeless, alone, confused, rejected, and abandoned. I haven't felt this low in months, but today the last straw was probably the word he had about people who long for heaven. To the extent you long for heaven, that is the extent that God has purposed you on earth.
I never understood people who just wanted to go to heaven. But these last few years, I have become that person who just longs to be with Jesus in a place where there is no more pain and no more grief. I know God has a high calling on my life, and many people have recognized that calling. In fact, that calling has been the source of much grief and spiritual opposition. More than anything I want to honor God in my life. Sure I would rather be in heaven, but I want to live now according to the high purpose God has called me to now. But it just seems like so much pain sometimes... losing so many people... so much pruning... So many purifying flames... And so many people even well meaning ones that get in the way and inflict their own pain. Sometimes I really don't want this calling, but I also know that God has honored me with the story I have in order to make me that much more affective in His service.
