Update on the situation that caused me so much heartache a few days ago:
This weekend, there has been healing and reconciliation in ways that far exceeded my expectations. God has a way of blowing my mind.
Not saying things are perfect, but God has given me joy and tremendous hope for the future.
One step at a time, following my Lord ^_^
(I know I've said this about 2848194728 times, but thank you for the prayers. This update was for those who asked me for one, and also just to give all the glory to our God!)

I've got to admit that I'm sad. Disappointed, even. It's not like I was banking on it or anything. But it was an interesting chance, something to ponder and wonder about. But maybe it's one of those childish things I need to put away. God isn't a respecter of persons, but he certainly doesn't give or allow everyone the same things.
At first they came for the scallops, but I did not speak out because I was not a scallop. Next they came for the oysters, but I did not speak out because I was not an oyster. Then they came for my people, and now I am alone.
Run Forrest, run!
I once spoke out for things that I felt really needed to be said on this site and it got me banned. I've since been unbanned because I accepted that fact that the people on this site have a right to their opinions and if I want to stay here I have to respect their right and not go around trying to prove my point.
"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." - (1 Corinthians 13:1 NIV)
"but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." - (James 3:8 NIV)

Anyway... we aren't here to be converted, edjukated or enlightened. We're mostly here for community, fellowship and to support one another. Everyone is welcome, including you, as long as we are all here for the same thing.

Note, I'm not saying that you might get banned like I did...
I'm just saying that if you want to have a positive experience here you will have to weigh the possible consequences of speaking out against the benefits of not speaking out. Of course there sometimes comes a time when you must speak out, but to speak out in order to get everyone's attention is taking the risk of having a negative experience.

hang in there sister. who else is going to bail me out when i am buried under a pile of crazy?
seriously, rip that page off the pad and take a look at the freshness, joy and hope of a new day, a new year, new chances, and new mercies.
besides, i think it would be a real shame for someone as strong and bright as you are to allow any faceless critic to persuade you into giving away your voice and the value you bring to this community. if i have learned anything in the last few days. you leaving would be a definite step in the WRONG direction.
