 When I was going through a difficult time becoming the pastor of the church, and a lot of folks were against me and saying all kinds of things, accusing me of this, that, and the other, I remember getting in the prayer room one day because I was hurt really badly, to be honest. People I loved dearly had just turned their back and said things about me they knew weren't true. I was in the prayer room one day, and I thought, God, now you've got to show me how to deal with this. I'm hurt, and sometimes I'm angry, God. It's like the Lord said to me, listen carefully.
