This isn't really a prayer request, it's more of a vent session for me. I'm upset right now over a few things that have been said to me in the past few days by members of my church family. Being the chairman of the Missions committee, I started a Secret Pals group a little over a year ago, there were only 8 ladies interested out of our usual attendance of approx 60 people. Along the way, several others have mentioned an interest in joining, so I thought I would start off the new year with revealing who our pals have been, then drawing new names for this year. I took it upon myself to mention it to a few ladies, asking if they cared to join. Total SHOCK is what I got as answers! Such things as "I don't gossip and keep secret stuff amongst my church family" or "With me, everyone in this congregation is treated the same, if I want prayers, I ask it of everyone, no secrets". Now I feeling like I shouldn't even attempt to continue this secret pal thing..even though these two obviously have the wrong impression of what it's all about. Perhaps it's God's way of telling me to drop this idea and use myself in other areas that might be more fulfilling and worthwhile...I don't know.
