The expectation seems to be that because your a Christian you should be joyful all the time. As a sufferer of depression this can make an already difficult situation even harder. We are told that being a Christian won't be easy so why then do we pretend everything's great? It's frustrating.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18334506679537313981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237726868006702282.post-78370331987001024132011-02-20T19:39:54.614-06:002011-02-20T19:39:54.614-06:00In light of number 3...I struggle with this becaus...In light of number 3...I struggle with this because I feel like we sort of set ourselves up for the fake "I'm fine" answer by doing a five minute hand shake time in the service where we go shake hands and ask everyone how they are doing. How can you really be authentic during that time? People seem to really like it though so I don't know that the answer is to cut the hand shake thing out but my preference is to not add one more thing that just helps us be more plastic. <br />And for the committee's ...I'm learning about this right now. We came from a church plant where there were no committees to a church where there is a committee for everything single thing. It's a whole new thing for us. Interesting to say the least. Ha! But a lot does get accomplished through them so that's good.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751406235805767248noreply@blogger.com
