Daisygirl, I too have been 'burned' in a church and only recently forced myself to start attending and reaching out to others again. I have found as I reach out to others they in turn are there to help me in prayer and encouragement. I have found my empty, lonely nights alone are greatly improved when I can look forward to getting to know these people more. I will always no matter what setting I am in--work, family, firneds or church going to run the risk of being 'burned'. Satan would like me to stay out of church--that way I am a weak target that he can batter and bruise. Personally, I have decided that I'm tired of being Satan's punching bag and I'm opening myself up to all the possibilities that God wants me to explore. Blessings! I'll be praying for you!
