When bad things happen…

Bad things happen.  The snow is falling outside.  Which has given me time to pause and make sense of what happened this past weekend.

It was upsetting, I have learned that letting go of it and not letting it rule the rest of the day is important.   It shows unprofessional behavior of a few members of a church that I have loved to attend and support.   I realize that it is the actions of a select few and it had such negative impact on so many.

I became so angry over the situation, I was hurt.  There was an investment of time, I traveled 2.5 hours to get to the church through a bit of rough weather.  I had spent valuable time away from my book in order to prepare a talk.   There were other opportunities to serve that I turned down to be there.

Bad things happened

I called them out on the their failure.  Perhaps not the best way, but I am human.   Understanding that everything happens for a reason, doesn’t help.   There are things that need to change, and for one reason or another the Universe felt that I needed to be part of it.  I have had a bit of negative backlash by those that were wrong.   Instead of making an apology to me they have made me out to be the enemy.   I guess posting about it on Facebook and tagging them may have pissed them off.  Then again I had so many reach out and apologize for what happened I am touched.

Now I need step away from it and TRUST that everything will turn out the way it needs to be.   It doesn’t matter what I think should happen.   I look forward to serving them again in the future.   For now this is a blip in their history and I have faith that all will resolve itself.
