Opening the Window ...

I just received an e-mail from someone who struggled with my talk on Sunday. She opened up the window of her heart to share with me her frustration & how she is working through it. I appreciated that - even though it is hard to hear that people do not like some of your efforts ...

In life I have noticed that it is important to keep the window open so the stink can air out!
For me ... I have to do that in so many ways ---> spiritually / in marriage / in parenting / in friendships etc.

I have found that saying "I'm sorry" is the best way to open the window & let the stink out. Satan is the king of stink ... he is the author & creator of it ... it is the downfall of many a relationship & church!

I am opening the window to my heart by allowing this blog to be published on the church web page ... that was never the intention.

This was going to be my private place for thoughts & feelings. A closed room to work through the intricacies & hardships of life --- not anymore --- the window is open

I feel blessed to have a pastor who works/prays so diligently over his messages and who isn’t afraid to speak the words God puts on his heart. I believe that your decision to open this window is a real testament to both your love of God and your faith in His love for you. Thank you.

I pray God continues to bless you, your family, and Orchard Community as we all work together to understand the depth of God's amazing grace and how we can best share it with those around us.
