I didnt pass you by here Linda...sometimes i have to think on things for a spell...im glad you have walked thru the doors of a church that seems as it is going to fit your needs....I like small and personal and Bible based...I also like it when i walk in the doors and the people are friendly and welcome you with open arms...right off the bat..You dont get that everywhere....And the womans fellowship on Wednesday night is a plus as well...Having that whole body of Christ thing going to help and encourage and uplift..is all so important...especially when one is going thru so much as you are at this time of your life....
I hope and pray that the visit to your home from the preacher goes more than great...Told him the whole story already...you go girl...dont waste no time there...LOL...hey, im not poking fun...thats what i like to hear...dont beat around the bush...ask and you shall receive...seek and you shall find.
Now im not trying to be a downer here...and finding a great church is a wonderful thing...and im thinking you already know this...but do keep in mind that that wonderful church that may do so much for you and maybe even Rusty...You have to remember that God has lead you there thru prayer...if this is truly the place that you have been seeking and if this is truly the place that God has lead you. But it is all still about worship and praise to God...Not what HE can do for you but what you can do for him...If you keep that in mind and act accordingly...God will be honored in and with your true praise and worship to him and the blessings will flow and your needs meet...Its all about what we can do for God...Not what he can do for us...
I guess what im trying to say is that a great church is a wonderful and helpful place...but the church is just an extension of Gods hand...the body of Christ. We have to keep in mind that our blessings...our hope...our everything...is still coming from God...not from the great church that we have found or attend. I think many people that have a lot of problems in life get wrapped up in the ..."What the Church and preacher has done for me...and forgot that it is God that is doing it"...why do i say that...look at the hundreds of thousands of lost sheep that are being lead to slaughter by some of the big named Tv preachers.....
Now im not pointing my finger at you Linda...I just know you have been thru a lot and im just here to try and help...Im just another extension of Gods hand...so to speak...its still all about HIM!
Have a great and blessed day my friend!
