Leaving 'Home'
Sigh! It's after one in the morning, I am restless, I can't sleep.... I wonder? Is it my exam coming Saturday, or the lingering discussion of two people wanting rest, space, and growing-up? Yeah, I think that's what it is... well, it could have been the dulce latte at seven 'o clock! But whatever it is, I am sitting still on our couch, staring in front of this screen, mind blank, not sure what to really think.I will try my best to share my mind to you though... I am somewhat puzzled for a long time at how my husband decided to 'leave' our church. I was truly saddened, but I would like to trust him on this, I can't really trust him with much of the 'little' stuff, but I will give him this one... one of the very few big things wherein I put my full confidence in my partner, then I hold my breath and dive in! What? I love him and I will be beside him all the way.
But really... weighing the pros and cons of the plan makes me realize the more that he's right. Being both of us immersed since birth in our very, very familiar church, can be impeding to our personal spiritual growth and maturity. Being caught in the midst of the vast needs & ministries of a church while you try to juggle family, work & school can be grueling! Worse! It can be detrimental to one's health. Plus, the weekly attacks' & it's destructing effects to one's state of mind... argh! Besides, I am no longer a little young carefree girl singing on the top of my lungs in a "Kid's Praise" concert, I've grown up to be a lovely, leveled matured woman! I now have a house to run, responsibilities to fulfill & a family to care for - how they've ballooned (including my LA & hubby's family)! Sad to say, my familiar church did not grow with me. Let's just say, we've grown apart, and we have to move on.
We believe it is time to move away from a too familiar space... time to spread our wings and find new heights, adventures, experiences, stories to tell & learnings to share. To find a greener pasture, to find solace and rest. To find time for one another, for our future, our 'passions' and family. To have time to 'smell' the pink roses in Mom's garden! To savor my Creator! To finally say 'yes' as He patiently awaits to sway me into the rhythm of His cadence... for He is the Lord of my Dance! Lord bless us! Let me find rest and solace in Thee!
