Sunday Service

I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but each time I walk into Church and listen to the sermon it's as thought it was written just for me. Since we have moved here I have been struggle to find a Church to attend. I have tried several and each held it's own qualities and I meet many kind Christians, I was still struggling. I didn't realize how important it is for me to be a part of a Church and attend weekly. But it has been a deep source of sadness for me since we have moved here. Last week I was invited by a co-worker to the Church that she attends and I am happy to say that I went back this week and will continue to go. This goes back to what I have said about God gives us what we need. We just may not like the path, but it is not for us to lead.

Today's service was "What are you anxious over?" Well, me personally, where do I begin! Which is kind of funny because my mom and I were just this week discussing the day of the week that my brother and I were born. Guess what? It was Wednesday. Wednesdays child is full of woe. I asked her "Well, what do you expect?". Anyway, I am a worry wart, horribly. I often pray that the Lord keep me from "doom and gloom" thoughts. This sermon discussed how our worry takes away our joy. Over the years I have realized that in my life and I try hard not to be a worry wart. It is pointless and draining. Yeap, pointless, I said it.

There were many scripture that we went over. Here are a few that I have already read several times today: Matthew 6:25-34, 7:7-12 and the verse I most often turn to in my Bible, Proverbs 3:5-6. If you have a chance, read them, I'll pray they bring you comfort as they did me.

With all that said, I am going to do as in Proverbs and "trust in the Lord" and not obsess about flying this weekend. I am going to find the joy in the fact that I get to see a new place. MJ

I only feel that way when the priest is all 'up in arms' and calling us sinners - THAT's when I feel he's looking directly at me and I get the feeling that I'm going to be called to the front to stand in front of everyone.... Other than that - I'm fine! :)
