Hello again, well I have read it and printed it. I can’t figure a way to save it. But this poem, your words and passion are everything to me.
Don’t talk too much ~ I’m sure that their eyes rolled when they heard me speak.
This Meeting ~ even my husband being in the meeting didn’t matter. The man in the pulpit was in charge.
Please don’t ask for more ~ God forbid, I asked for more. My husband went to Heaven fairly suddenly. I asked for assistance from the man in the pulpit. So many things that were needed. I was told that I wasn’t an old enough widow.
Discernment ~ a gift that my husband was grateful for. I couldn’t have mentioned it at church.
Lower your voice ~ People complained about my voice and clapping to music. My husband was called into the man in the pulpit office.
We saw the warning signs. My husband died. I waited until the Lord indicated that I could leave. It was one of the most difficult times of my life.
Thank you Gracie, this truly was uplifting and a balm to my spirit. As always, I am grateful for you. 🙏🏼🕯️🕊️🩶❤️🩹🍉🫒🌿
This is eye catching and heart stopping. So many spaces in which women have not been allowed and sad for the hurt many have faced in the church. Thankfully our home church has a full time paid staff female who is our Community Life Pastor and even preaches on Sundays occasionally. I’ve always struggled with Complementarianism because I didn’t see it modeled in my childhood home. I see benefits and drawbacks. Here’s to more contemplation.
Omgracious, Gracie, this, THIS, could be me. I have to read this again and again. I must soak it in and gather my thoughts. Thank you for sharing this. I am beyond grateful 🥹🙏🏼🕯️🕊️🩶❤️🩹🍉🫒🌿
