my email to a friend...
Today I had a core leader meet with the associate pastor to say that not only does he want to step down from leadership but also step away from the church because he can't support a woman in ministry.
Yikes...I've never really experienced that before. In class, yes. But not in the church.
Thanks for always supporting me and encouraging me in ministry friend.
his email back...or maybe not so much his...
Kay,
I love you. Stay upbeat about this. I gifted you to lead and put you in the position that you are in! Let him go and be used elsewhere and don't harbor any ill feelings toward him. Hopefully, someday, he will learn from this experience as much as you will. Remember, I love him too.
Keep doing what you are doing and use this only as motivation to better serve me. I am going to do some amazing stuff today. Want to join me?
Love,
Jesus
I am extremely proud of you Kay and know that God has, is and will continue to use you for His glory!
ReplyDeleteGod works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform! You will handle this and other challenges with dignity and grace. I am proud of you, Kaylyn Machelle. This is a stepping stone toward more growth! You are well equipped and have a kind, compassionate, and understanding spirit. I love you!
ReplyDeleteKay -you handled this well.
ReplyDeleteAlways remember Isaiah 57:15
"...And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord..."

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had to go through that...so many people take the Bible totally out of context. I love you Kay!
