Why do we agonize over the simplest things? We haven't told more than our family and a couple of really close friends about what is going on here. It's not that we want to keep this as a secret. It's not something we're embarassed about, or scared of what people will think. On the contrary, we would love to have people's prayer and support. But telling people is so awkward. I don't have enough emotional strength to tell people one at a time as we meet them. It would drain me completely. But if we do it "en masse" in an e-mail or something, it is cold and impersonal. People need more information, and having them contact us for it would drain us just as badly. We're barely holding our heads above water here on our own.
Our pastor has offered to let our church know for us. He's pretty good at stuff like this. I guess he's had more practise than we have. It's not going to be this Sunday - there's a kids programme going on, and Samantha is in it. She doesn't know yet either. How do you explain something like this to a 5 year old? Anyhow, he'll do it for us next week. That's a massive load off our shoulders. Thanks Wes.
