It's getting so hard to go to church

This is the second week in a row that I have broke out in tears in the middle of church. Today's sermon was about how God is the only one that can walk on water and when we are up to our necks in water he is right there next to us with a miracle. I couldn't help but think about how I am up to my neck in water and I could sure use that miracle he has waiting for me. I so badly want that miracle. The minister also said a prayer about remembering those that have lost a loved one and have to deal with an empty bedroom, nursing home room, empty committee member seat, etc, and all I thought about was that I have an empty(well it's not empty, but it's not full of baby things) bedroom at home that should be converted to a nursery at this point. He also went on to pray for the service men and women as in policemen, firemen, EMTs, etc. All of this while I'm sitting there alone since Corey was at work, he's a police officer. It's just getting harder not to cry at some point during church and today I didn't even bother getting up, I just sat there, alone, and cried.

I purposely did not sit by the lady that made me cry last week though. I knew I would be uncomfortable and she probably would have been too.

God, if you happen to read this, I could use that miracle you have waiting for me.

Hi Ashley, I can surely relate. Satan is working over time to divide our church. Pastor said tonight in Prayer meeting that there are at least 4 fires raging in our church of 150 people. I know of one because I am in the middle of it, I just want to leave so badly so there will be one less fire. I also want to leave so that the person that I offended won't have to deal with my presents. I have asked forgiveness for all the things that I have done, I have written to Pastor and to her, I am going to Pastor for counseling every week I just don't know what else to do. I have been praying for her and her family since they came here 3 years ago.

I will pray for you too Ashley that you don't give up and let Satan get the victory. We must press on to get the Glory, don't faint, don't give up, God has plans for your life, just bow your knee to what HE has for you.

In Christ
