How wonderful to see many familiar names. I am glad to be here with you. As I am able, I will up-date on the events that have changed my views of many things. It is still a little difficult for me to talk about except in small quantities! I can tell you that God is good and sometimes takes me through a valley to open up my eyes! Blessings to ya'll!

I am looking forward to getting to know you through your posts.  Sometimes it is needed to leave to know what you left behind and to appreciate it more when you return.

The prodigal daughter... that would be me! I love that one! Those who know me know some of my story. My sweet husband was a pastor. He is so good too. He just doesn't go along with all the Southern Baptist things. We were told that we don't look tight, dress right, know the right people , make enough money and a bunch of things. I thought this church was different and it was for a while. Or maybe they were just playing a game for a time. I tend to be very trusting in spite of my background.
My background was another part of the equation, Before I go  on.... no pity.... God allowed it to happen so I can help others  who this has happened to. I was raised in the deep south. Back when I was a kid, boys were the desired children because of all the farm work. This was back in the 1960's and 1970's. My Daddy was an alcoholic and I was sort of passed around to be used by the drunken friends. I was hurt. I won't go into details because you don't need that mental picture.... it was ugly. I had internal defects from what had happened and required many surgeries. They left me with a messed up insides and pain. The church seemed to be ashamed of this... having a pastor whose wife was this way. I will share more as I can. It hurts my heart.
On a happy note... blesings to you all as I hear the mountains come alive with birdsong on this morning! Much love, Jennie

Hi Jennie,

Welcome back, and pleased to meet you.  Sounds like you've had a lot to endure. Hopping to know you better!

No sadness except for the little girl that was... I have been far more blessed than I have had to endure. It doesn't always feel that way so I have to remind myself of that a lot! The life inside the church was so hard. The most hurtful thing was the people being ashamed of the abuse I went through as a child. they were ashamed of having their pastor's wife with this background. Seems like brothers and sisters in Christ should accept one another. Anyway.... ya'll have blessed me so much just this far and I can't wait to spend this time with ya'll!
The wind is blowing hard through our mountains today and is so lovely to hear as it sings through the trees.Love to all.....

Jennie, I know how the organized churches can be. My sister was raped , when she was trying to help someone out. It is a long and very sad story. She became pregnant and almost lost the baby several times. For a while there my sister was not handling it all very well mentally. Well, the baby was born and she has been a blessing thoughout the years. I actually think she is the reason my father lived to be 75 cause she was the father she never had. My neice moved in and lived with us right after my father died. So, she could get a good job. She shared with the Pastor, of our church we had gone to for years. After, she did that him and his wife treated her like something was wrong with her.
She left and never went back. I have been trying to share Ray's teachings and she is becoming receptive to them.
       
I am sure you are a blessing for many who have suffered like you.

In His Love,
Marlene
I am finding the people on here are the presecuted church.
