]]> Comment on Questions of the Heart by stephanie http://seanmcmillanproductions.com/2007/06/20/questions-of-the-heart/#comment-103 stephanie Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:43:08 +0000 http://seanmcmillanproductions.com/2007/06/20/questions-of-the-heart/#comment-103 Dear Pastor McMillan, I recently heard you speak at my church in Wheaton. I was actually the young lady who prefaced my introduction to you as "please don't think I'm crazy", but... Anyway, I attempted to respond to this entry (Questions of the Heart) the other day, but being a novice in regard to internet communication, I'm not sure if I followed the proper steps. In case my first response did not make it through, I wanted to try again. I was so moved by what you wrote! To say that your oratory and writing skills are superb would be an understatement at best. I genuinely felt drawn to your message as it poignantly illustrates the process of the human condition. More specifically, my journey. I have been through so much over the past ten years, that I have felt like running away and starting over elsewhere (like Alaska or Denmark:) But after the sobering reality that problems are loyal and would follow me anywhere I went, I knew here is where I had to stay and figure things out. I beleive that when I started to take my relationship with GOD seriously, is when everything started to change for me. My genuine efforts at gaining emotional intimacy with GOD forced me to self reflect, self adjust, and self accept. You know Piaget talks about all these different stages of cognitive development and I can see how spiritual development mirrors those different stages (to a certain extent). Where am I on that continuum? It varies from experience to experience. I am just thankful that I do have a relationship with GOD, that I do trust him, and that I don't have to worry anymore about all of the lies that were spoon fed to me by the Devil. I've learned to close my mouth, and say "no thank you". Thanks for creating this blog, it's a great outlet. I beleive GOD's hand is truly on you. Stay you, Be Blessed. Dear Pastor McMillan,

I am stuck here as I am a women of God who has tried to let the man know that he is acting crazy and I have waited patiently for him trying to only seduce him by being myself and he never responds. So do you think I should move on with my life and let this go. Its been about 2 years now. What a intersting word!

It was for our Super Singles Class, you said something that has remained in my spirit over the past 8 months. You said in stead of asking someone what's your sign, you said ask them can they birth a baby? I have found myself asking this question repeatly over the past months and just as well men look at me like I am crazy. That question alone is a constant reminder of why I refuse to live up to people superficial expectations. I am perfect in the eyes of God, and I am who he says I am. Thank You!

I often wondered why I was living and what made me get up, what motivated me. I didn't have an answer. I always thought about what would be the right thing to say when and if I was ever asked. Still no answer. I was running for my life when I came to God. I had black dogs chasing me and I could not shake them. When I finally gave my life whole heartedly to God I found peace and love that I had never felt in my entire life. I realized that I had allowed man to take away who I thought I was. The new life that I have in Christ inspires me to bless everyone that I come into contact with. Most of all it let's me know that I am loved just as I am. The fact that he died for me and my children and their children, is enough just to wake up with the opportunity to praise him and bless his name again.

His dance with me can be compared to a "homegoing" procession in New Orleans, Louisiana. Homecoming processions are often reenacted during Mardi Gras. Traditionally, on the way to the cemetery, the procession "slow drags", "sidelining" they call it. Mourners walk very slowly, almost dragging, and the music is melancholy. But on the way out, everyone dances and rejoices! The horns, and drums are upbeat,and everybody parties afterward, to celebrate the soul going back to be with God. God "slow dragged" with me during life's dark places, and he danced and partied with me on the way out! I thank Him for His faithfullness during life's valleys and mountatin tops.
