I've been singing in a rock band for 3 years and in the past year our band changed.
We changed.
Well.. I changed.
I see things differently now because I have God in my life + Holy Spirit in my heart. And that changed me a lot. So.. Girls from our band (yep, it's a girls band) just didnt understand me and sometimes they made fun of my believes and fun of God. It hurt SO much to just sit there and listen to them. I prayed to God to forgive them for they don't know what they're talking about. I tried to tell them about Him but I didn't get anywhere.
So.. I prayed for a change in that area of my life. I didn't know if I have to do something or something will just happen..
And today my prayer has been answered. I didn't have to do anything but agree with what they wrote and I did. So.. I got out of the band. Just like that :)
It's a huge relief and I feel free. I really do. I'll miss singing but I'm sure the Lord will take care of that, I'm sure He'll give me something better.. something that's the best for me.
I'm as happy as the next person that you got out and I can relate to how you must be feeling (in the sense of liberation), but...
ReplyDeletetruth be told, I never mocked you for your beliefs... if anything I tried to be as supportive as possible, given my stance on the issue, so... I kinda consider this a bit of a slap in my face... just thought you should know...
I'm sorry I put you all in the same basket but what I wanted to tell was that the feeling wasn't right anymore.
ReplyDeleteI didn't go in detail about things but just explained how I mostly felt.
So, I'm really sorry I didn't include all the things but I do have to admit that you were + are the only one who supported me and I'm SO thankful for that because if it weren't for you, I'd probably get out of the band sooner and with a lot of misery. Now I'm just thankful for all the experience I got and I moved on.
I'm sorry you felt left out and I'm sorry you felt the words as a slap in your face. It really wasn't meant to be understood like that but a lot of people don't know ANYTHING about my life before + this HUGE thing happened and I wanted to share it. So I didn't go in detail.
Again, I'm sorry.*
