Monae Gibson Today was the first day that I attended service at the faith center. I was supposed to be visiting this church along with 2 others over the course of the next 3 weeks. Well, i have to admit that after coming today in my heart, soul, and spirit, i feel like i found a new church home.
I have been praying and asking God to lead me toward what i needed while i am in the process of getting my life and my family back on track. The faith center had been coming up on my timeline for about a month, and last night, i finally made a plan to go in person.
From the moment i touched the parking lot, i felt welcomed, i felt genuine kindness, heartfelt assitance, and just peaceful. As i was walking in the door, i was greeted with hugs ((literally)). I advised the usher that it was my first time. She stopped what she was doing and walked my children and I to the information desk, and from there, it was just a blessing.
My 9 year old wanted to go to the childrens center. He wasnt too happy when i picked him up only because he was grouped with younger kids. He wanted to be with children his age, but i think because of his height, maybe they thought he was younger. He wants to go back and try again. So that was good to hear. He also felt comfortable being able to wear what he wanted to. Ive always taught my children that Jesus says come as you are. In every sense of the phrase.
My teenage daughter sat with me in the main sanctuary, although they had a group for teens she wanted to stay with me. I am glad she did. She was taking notes and was fully engaged.
The choir was awesome, and the sermmon that was preched was truly a WORD. I will definitely be back with the rest of my family. I feel blessed to testify that i feel like I have found my church home❤️
