Praise God!
Well, everyone. Thanks for your prayers! I recently attended church yesterday. I was really nervous. I didn't know what to expect from the congregation but I went anyway. I just wanted to feel the presence of the Lord and worship Him. I didn't get any condemnation from anybody. Just things like, "hey we miss you!" "welcome back" "good to see you" "how you doing?" The pastors wife even said a joke to me, like "we should get you a visitors card." (like I never been there before, get it?
. I was even more pleased to hear a story of how an individual received the Holy Ghost in recent months after attending church for like 2 years diligently but he never gave up! My Pastor seemed really pleased and happy to see me, he gave me a big smile and I just had to hug him. I really missed him. He asked me, "You ready to jump in again?" In short, YES. The pastor said preached some things, I (and a few others in the church it turned out) really needed to hear, that pricked our hearts but gave us focus again. God is Great! I feel foolish for thinking I was forsaken and unforgiven. But thats that for now!
Praise God!
