I agree with sans sucre, White Tiger. I don't understand why you feel unwelcome. If you feel you need 'time away'/time out/quiet-time because of stress/burn out, so be it. I've been here 7 years and I did that at least 3 times and I come back stronger/refreshed (and each time, it's done a world of good, it's sort of like the evolution of my mental health), but don't feel resented, insignificant, or unwelcome. Every opinion is important to all us and to The Lord. Conflict might seem to get out of hand sometimes, but 'challenge' is very important for growth (and LOVE...challenge leads to tolerance and tempers/solidifies our love for each other). No input is EVER useless/insignificant. However you feel right now, don't feel obligated either which way. Maybe The Lord wants you to experience 'less stress', maybe He'd rather you pay a little more attention to YOUrSELF (your own needs, introspection) ...
