Who Knew?

"What makes you anxious in church planting?"

Our leader asked the question yesterday in a session for church planting spouses.

One of the ladies answered.

"When my husband preaches."

I'm sure my eyes must have widened and inside I was saying, "Yes!"

Then the other ladies all said it out loud.

"Yes!"

"Me, too!"

My eyes might have bugged out of my head.

So I'm not the only one!  Who knew?

It is so very nice to be in the company of others in similar situations, isn't it?  Somehow, it's comforting.

I'd say that was a sweet moment of this week's General Assembly for me.  Maybe not the specific issue but more the reminder that someone does understand.  We all need that don't we, for whatever it is that troubles us at times.  We really aren't alone in our struggles, big or small.  How good it is when we share them.
