I started attending the community church here which holds their services at the fire station as they have no church yet. The surroundings and the scenery are breath taking and very peaceful. So what`s my delima? I started attending church in Parkland when you were preaching there, then continued with Pastor Randy Bach until they moved to Tacoma. After that I stayed at the Parkland church because I felt the pressance of God there and that is where I felt my life changed. Then we sold our home and moved to Union, Wa. I know in my heart that the Lord has me here for a reason,(what I do not know), and that I wanted to be here too, but for my own personnel reasons which were probably selfish. Our home has not even begun and it was supposed to have been completed by Jan. 2007. I feel empty inside, alone, depressed, and very confused. I pray but I feel empty inside. No rejoicing, praising, no laughter, nothing. Please tell me what is wrong with me. Has the Lord "put me on hold" so to speak? I am frightened at times and I don`t even want to pray but I do. Just recently(2 weeks ago), I fell ill and was hospilized for a couple days. An upper respitory infection which caused the sinus rythem of the heart to appear as congestive heart failure. I knew I was in good hands and God was going to take control but at the same time I felt empty and frightened. My husband wasn`t there for most of my stay and that made me feel even worse. So what is wrong with me? Why don`t I feel the glory of the Lord like I used too? I need Him and I want Him and I want ALL my family to come to Him too. But if I don`t have the feelings that I used to how can I pray for anyone or myself? I am very torn over my relationship with the Lord as I DO NOT know what to do. So will you and your family Please pray for me(us). My husband & I was at the dedication of the church in Yelm. That was the first time my husband had heard one of your services and I felt proud for that. You also prayed for him that night and I want to thank you for that also. We both need alot of prayers as we are going through some tuff changes and now with the extra expense of a hospital stay and all the tests,etc. this really frightens us both. So please pray as I want the Holy Spirit to reign in me forever!! Thank you for your time and prayers, and may each of you be blessed also...... A friend in Christ...... Marsha Doodigian
