Home for a while

Fellowship Missionary-

Ahh, the familiarity. This is the church that the Lord used to speak to my dead soul for the very first time 6 and a half years ago. I remember sitting in my chair wiggling around as GOD spoke directly to me. I wouldn’t expect anything less 6 and half years later. This was also the very first church that I ever brought Jon to in the process of the Lord Jesus calling and wooing him out of the world 4 and half years ago. Deep roots have been set here.

I whisper to Jon as we walk into the sanctuary that I was sitting in the back row when I first heard Gods voice. He says “lets sit there, maybe we will hear Him today” in a joking fashion. As we look up, one of our most favorite saints is standing there smiling at us with his beautiful family. Hugs are exchanged and whispered promises to get together and catch up on where we are on this journey are made (they are being fulfilled this Wednesday). The worship has started and an energetic 70 plus lady is dancing down the aisles singing “hallelujah” and praise you Lord”. We quickly find our seats, second to back row.

We are engaged and the Holy Spirit is moving. Announcements are made and the pastor approaches after a beautiful video testimony of a young man whose life had been flipped turned upside down by the glorious grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Quickly we get into the text about Josephs life. Truth resonates as the pastor reads and teaches from the scripture. The power of the Holy Spirit is mending and binding inside me. I look over at Jon, whose eyes are filled with tears as the beautiful truths of our God Almighty pour over us. I whisper "I think I can call this home for a while."

We gather our children from the kind childrens ministry workers and run into people we know from BC (before Christ) and after. Such a joyous celebration. We end our precious afternoon at Granite City eating brunch and then home for cuddles and naps. Thank you Lord Jesus for Sabbath rest and cuddles!!!
