I questioned quietly, internally, how anyone could read the words of Christ (even as little as I understood them as a child) and treat another human being with such deep disregard. In middle school, when my sister and her friends brought their friend who was an atheist to a youth event; instead of welcoming her with love because she is a human being and deserves that, one of our youth leaders told her explicitly that wearing shorts to a church event was inappropriate. She never came back. I can still hear the beams cracking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/96659d88-0ef5-4e8a-aa14-030722d96b6f/letgo.jpg Blog - Letting Go… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/ac96a657-f252-497b-b6ee-d9122333e7c6/friends.jpg Blog - Letting Go… - Before, throughout, and beyond that experience, though, we always had our small group – our closest connections, our most intimate support. Because of the strength and longevity of that group of friends and the way that we held and carried each other, I think I doubled down and tightened my grip on that source of support. I hoped and believed it wouldn’t ever change which was far from realistic, but I wanted that closeness and those people to remain the same forever – a life-long refuge from everything else in our lives. For that season, our group was all on the same page, prioritizing love for each other, pursuit of love for our community, and close, deep connection with God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/1649102845271-RLRK36J5FQ0RC0WIAEIB/unsplash-image-rLm4Wq96h_0.jpg Blog - Letting Go… - I’ve known for a long time that my painful experiences embedded in church life were small spot fires, burning here and there, never really receiving the time or attention they needed in order to be tended to, subdued, and blended back into the soil of my life. Recently, though, relationship-ending conversations over faith and doubt with close, deep, heart-and-soul-connected friends followed by the publicly ugly treatment of some family members of ours in ministry poured a line of gasoline from one small fire to another, and before I realized it, a conflagration raged, threatening to burn down every solid relationship in my life. For the previous 39ish years of my life, in the face of loss, I ran toward the church to find refuge and direction inside the safety and love of community, but today, I can’t; in fact, I am taking slow, deliberate steps in the opposite direction – because I know with every fiber of my being that it’s the church within me that’s on fire. I’ve lived as a pastor’s wife (or, in the Church of Christ tradition, a minister’s wife) for 22 years. Tony and I were both raised in the Church of Christ – a weird little Christian denomination sometimes known in Christian circles today for its historical aversion to both instrumental music and women in leadership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/c0e6a987-4de7-4925-ac2a-e21ae6ee5677/burned+down.jpg Blog - Letting Go… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.zandreestidham.com/blog/legacies monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/9fcb41f3-9ff0-454c-95bb-030ed0716542/2.13.1944c.jpg Blog - Legacies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/125ed95f-058d-4540-82f7-1b292d86c674/2020-12-15-21-28-0041%281%29.jpg Blog - Legacies - I did not know my grandfather well when he lived. Though as a kid I shared his space often, we conversed very little that I can remember. Our togetherness was never uncomfortable or awkward; rather, we always held an easy silence between us. I experienced my grandfather as a kind, quiet man who worked hard as an electrician his entire post-military life. He raised three remarkable children. He hated pizza and loved peanut butter, football, fishing, and my grandmother. Though he never spoke the words out loud in my hearing, I sensed that he was proud of his family and the people they became. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/63dda459-70d6-4b38-9284-c05eca89d18a/Legoleague+and+basketball+043.JPG Blog - Legacies - Dessie Dell Reese used her some of her limited time on this planet to make us feel important, and she habitually made us feel welcomed and loved in her home. Throughout my life, I called her often, letting her dependably warm words blanket me when disappointments and struggles threatened to douse my own inner fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/5de8efe1-ae94-4027-9849-fc83fcbaa77e/garbage-g9f903e5c4_640.jpg Blog - Legacies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/2b825705-c54d-4846-8131-8061b56aa740/2020-12-16-18-29-0043%281%29.jpg Blog - Legacies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.zandreestidham.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/35c0008f-fa15-4192-9801-1d103cb4b1ab/Zee.jpg Contact https://www.zandreestidham.com/about daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6128564ce41e3755978341b6/1630716122023-ICXFJ2YAOKIZ0DI19MPK/Hikingzee2.jpg About - Meet Zee Hi!
