Personally, I wasn't all that affected by the events because to me he was no different than anyone else just because he carries the title of Pastor. I'd seen and heard of many Pastor's fall, so although it was a shock, I wasn't personally affected by it. What bothered me was the way he was treated as a result of the fall. It is so refreshing to see that people have and are coming out and showing him grace and acceptance, and loving him like he should have been all along.Courtney Raineynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121603511883500424.post-80460969420236776802012-09-05T12:44:56.324-06:002012-09-05T12:44:56.324-06:00This is such a good reminder for all of us...

My favorite concept from this post, "I walked through the next couple of years...healing and processing. In looking into my responsibility in the situation, I realized that I had put such high expectations on this man. I assumed he would never falter. This assumption led to such heartache. Such disappointment. This assumption made the situation immediately about me...instead of about a friend who was going through an extremely difficult situation". Learning how to be more dependent on our relationship with God and less dependent on man, that's how we grow up in Christ! Paradoxically, the more dependent we become on Christ, the better we can love man. Thank you for your transparency.
