Church

My church isn't exactly the most traditional of churches. We do two offerings a regular one and one we call the Bucket offering for loose change to help pay the mortgage. When we do the bucket offering we play different songs most recently DC Talk's Jesus Freak. I came home and downloaded the song and totally love it, as did the older people in church. If I remember correctly Pastor was singing along with the song.

We are known as the church of misfits, those other churches don't approve of for various different reasons. It's in this church that I have seen more family-like atmosphere and more support during someone's trials. It's in this church that I am following my dream of being a youth minister, other churches approved of the idea, but never did anything to help me accomplish it. Pastor made me the youth minister as soon as I mentioned I would like to work with the youth. Granted we needed a youth minister, but that said a lot to me about the church and how they view implementing people into where they feel lead to be.

I love my church and thank God for leading us to it. Whenever God is pulling at your heart for something, don't ignore him. Follow His plan and guidance. Life couldn't be better since I decided to listen to God's calling.

Church

Mom and I decided to check out the River of Life church not far from the house. The first Sunday we went I fell in love with it. It's exactly what I am looking for in a church, while for mom... a little too untraditional, but she's willing to give it a chance and get used to mainly worship. This Sunday she was really getting into it so I don't think that would take all too long.

I already for comfortable around members and Pastor Paul. Who mentioned a young adult class I should check out at the church so I'll think about that, and he mentioned me reading some of my poetry. He also wants to help me market my book and get it into small stores which is simply great! God is already moving in my life through this church after only 2 Sundays. I'm so excited and on fire....This is what I have missed since I graduated RMU. I missed Chi Alpha's atmosphere and the people, and I found it again in ROL.

I can't wait to see what else God is going to do in my life.

Song of the moment: Jesus Lover of My Soul
"Jesus lover of my soul,
Jesus I will never let you go
You've taken me from the miry clay,
Set my feet upon the rock and now I know
I love you I need you I will worship you until the very end."
