Where can I go to scream?


          I love my job. I love kids. I love God. And I love serving. Sometimes, however, I just want to scream. Maybe that's one of the reasons I started this blog, so when things got really frustrating and I just needed to "let it all out" I could do so without actually damaging anyone's eardrums. The budget cuts at our church, as well as the direction that leadership is heading (with the exception of the pastor) has got me wanting to go somewhere far far away and just scream. Grrr! Lately, when I'm stopped at a long light or something in my car, by myself, I've taken to screaming about as loud as I can without anyone in any of the other cars hearing me. I wonder, did any of those heroes of the Bible ever wanted to do that? When I read the book of John it often sounds like Jesus was on the verge, in fact he just came out and said he was fed up with people a lot of the time. I don't believe I could get away with that, so I'll stick to my solitary screaming to get my frustrations out for now. Please keep praying for me. I know the blog has taken a kind of negative turn in the last week or so, but this too shall pass. 
          In the mean time, Hubby and I are really excited because in only a matter of days we will be on our way to visit his family in North Carolina for Christmas! I am really looking forward to seeing my in-laws again, since its been over a year and a half since I've been with most of them, including my nephews. In fact, this will be the first time Hubby and I have ever seen our new niece who is now over a year old! We also get to hang out with my father-in-laws new Doberman puppy. I just can't wait! I wish we could leave right now =0)

I feel you, sister. Except I'm more of a crier than a screamer. Hope you guys have great holidays and can enjoy some distraction from the church stress. God bless!
