what to do
Roy Coates:
The leaders and the pastor of my former church have dis-fellowshiped me. It has been more that a week since I conversed with any of them. For me this is good. My wife is taking it very hard. She considers me the spiritual leader of the family. However she is certain that we will be looked down on from our friends, her coworkers and my older children. I too think this is and will happen and I see it at a blessing. Her friends and coworker currently don't respect her spiritual understanding and now cause she cant claim a local church home she feels much worse. I am really out on the faith limb, confident I am listening to God's call, I am just not sure I can convince her. Steadfast and steady as she goes I say. But she cried tonight as I told her some of the latest happenings. She is worried and is need of prayer. I know her eyes have been opened it is letting go of the stigma she has believed to be proper christian living. I need strength and encouragement too. I need to teach our little ones in a way that mom is comfortable and the truth is being taught. Thanks again as I struggle in these emotional time
Roy Martin:
Roy, the greatest thing about this is that you have left behind a building with people in it , but you haven't left God. Your strength is in the true God that you know of, and not in what you left behind.
Its not an easy thing to give up idols of the heart and the things we use to attach ourselves to for security.
Its where your going and not where you have been that's important and exciting.
I'm not saying anything you don't already know, just trying to lift you and your wife up.
You and your wife are in my prayers.
Peace
Roy

Hi . i cant tell you how to handle this detail . . as a male you will do it differently . than us as women . your needs will be addresed in a way . that will work for you . your s o . partner will have a very different emotional thing going on that you wont see unless she tells you .what she will need is love . reasurance & knowing its not her fault that others have turned her out . or rejected her . its going to take time . a long time . so dont say . just walk away forget it . that wont help . dont try & convince her .
I am involoved in a big community . & we have many who are turned away so i am well aware of this . allow the Holy spirit to suround you . & feed you .. & your partner . some times we need to back off from being in charge . & just sit . a while . & wait on the Lord . not easy .. really its very hard . some times we have to unlearn what has been taught . & relearn . many things . in our life s . in our community . we are rejected becaues we are different . so are not acceped for who we are no matter even if we accept thier teaching .s right or wrong. then having to turn away from that . is very hard . just trust in the Lord & let the Lord work it out .
Hey . for your partner. when you follow The lord we just have to tag along ... let the Lord go first ... hug .s
