Writer’s Rant- Special Edition
Today, I wear my heart on my sleeve as I am commissioned into the Stephen Ministry. I learned of this program years ago when I myself was going through some difficult times and a friend suggested I seek out a Stephen Minister to share my angst. For that brief moment, I wore my heart on my sleeve to that one individual who was there to listen. There are many sources of the pain and grief we humans bear and some of us just need someone to talk to. If you have or find someone to share that with, you are blessed. Another person who knew of the many conflicts I had survived commented that she was amazed at how resilient I was. As I reflect, I suppose that is true, and I feel blessed in that regard. But someday, it may all catch up with me and I may once again seek out my own Stephen Minister. For now however, I will offer myself up and maybe be of help to someone in need. And this is how I roll.
