From the Writer’s Heart (First, the Fallout)

 


And she told me I needed to speak up more.

This is going to be hard.  I shared this ordeal with a Christian Writing Group I was part of, but I ended up getting hurt worse by that.  In some way, I told myself I would never talk or write about it, but this is where I am being led.

I went to the Christian Faith Journaling group I was part of to post the reading plan for February (in 2021).  The cover page had been changed from the one I had created.  When I tried to get into the group, it stated that I was no longer a member of the group.  I was so confused and did not know what was going on.

I tried to contact the owner of the group, she could not be reached, which I knew to mean she had unfriended me.  I had been removed from the group chat for the moderators of the group.

Did I get a message telling me that this had happened? -No.

Did anyone say anything to me about this happening? -No.

Was there a sisterly conversation had about what happened? -No.

I had a feeling about what had happened, but I was not sure of it.

So, I sent a message to the other moderators.
One of them wrote, and I paraphrase… She didn’t say anything to you about that.  Shesh… she said she was gonna say something.
The other one wrote, again, I paraphrase… I don’t know what happened.  I’m sorry.

And that was that… A group that I had spent a year and a half in, giving of my time and talents to, helping out and monitoring… was no longer part of my life.

I was so heartbroken and devastated, but I would have other worries soon.
