And I also feel what Alex is speaking. I catch myself complaining myself and realize what the stinker am I doing? I am torn beyond belief and there is so much to love, and so much to also feel tired. But should I not complain and become complacent? It's tough... reaaally tough to push through. I think the end result is inside we want MORE. I want MORE I feel God wants more from us. And I'm not willing to stop just here. It's just that we decide different ways to go about reaching that 'more'... But it would be nice if it weren't the same doers. hugs,

Leung Wed, 25 Jul 2007 00:49:38 +0000 http://www.princesspaupr.com/2007/07/23/ohana-means-family/#comment-1064 Hello sis, I know you think I criticize or "complain" a lot about church, so I hope you can one day know of the pain and love I speak from -- as one who <i>is</i> a part of this body... who from the inside sees a light shining through. Know that I've been trying hard over the past couple years not to complain as much, and talk to others and parties involved, those who can be part of the solutions. I also wish that you could know and understand the ecclesiology I speak from. I think this is where I can bore you, and maybe you could even think these are ivory-tower / celebrity pastors who model and write of such a way of doing things... these way of doing things are more close to "home" for me. Maybe it is just a difference that makes us different and unique at the same time. For such is the beauty of the variation of denominations :) Nevertheless, know that I love you and take what you've said here to heart very seriously. It is affecting me so much that I'm planning to say something humbly about it this Sunday. <i>Know also of how much I love the Body, and why I would want to live and die for it.</i> Because He purchased it with His own blood, Alex S. Leung Hello sis,
I know you think I criticize or “complain” a lot about church, so I hope you can one day know of the pain and love I speak from — as one who is a part of this body… who from the inside sees a light shining through. Know that I’ve been trying hard over the past couple years not to complain as much, and talk to others and parties involved, those who can be part of the solutions.

I also wish that you could know and understand the ecclesiology I speak from. I think this is where I can bore you, and maybe you could even think these are ivory-tower / celebrity pastors who model and write of such a way of doing things… these way of doing things are more close to “home” for me.

Nevertheless, know that I love you and take what you’ve said here to heart very seriously. It is affecting me so much that I’m planning to say something humbly about it this Sunday. Know also of how much I love the Body, and why I would want to live and die for it.

'complainers' (that's what i call them) do have their place in the grand scheme of things. if they are good 'complainers', they are usually good indicators of things that are broken and need fixing -- like pain to the body; by golly can they be a pain. but like pain, they are often lousy at tact and incapable of processing communication in return. 'complainers' who speak the Truth with love, i call them prophets. thank you for articulating what i’ve been feeling, but never bothered to say.
