God is Near....Part 2

I know this blog was made for weight loss support group but tonight I have a share a different but very positive life experience.

My Scotty and I have been together and married for over 18 wonderful years. We have had like many other couples, lots of ups and downs. Honestly, it has been the best 18+ yrs of my life. We have four beautiful children and I have no regrets. For the past few months, I have felt there was just something else missing from my life and our marriage. I kept trying harder every day to make my wonderful family happy but I felt the more I tried, the harder it became. Then four weeks ago I noticed around Wabash were tent signs on street corners and other signs along the highway that said "Starting Feb. 7th New Journey Community Church at Honeywell Center etc."

I then starting thinking, wow that would be nice to go to church every Sunday. Then that Sunday came and I was on Facebook and noticed John Babb was talking about it and such. I thought to myself and shared with Scott that John and Rhonda go there. That is cool! As soon as Scotty got out of work that day at 10:15am we rushed home and then down to Honeywell Center. Scotty and I went alone, no kids this time, so we could see what it was all about. Honestly, for me, when I read about it on Facebook and it said "no dress code and come as you are" I was like" that is the way it should be everywhere. It was Superbowl Sunday so Scotty and I were dressed in Our Colts attire. We were comfortable and were excited to attend! As soon as we walked in the doors, I felt at "home."

We have attended the past three weeks faithfully (the kids have went the past two weeks now with us) and today my life was changed forever. Today as we were singing with the worship team, I for the first time felt God's presence over me. Oh my gosh, as soon as this happened I had tears running down my face. I couldn't control them. I thought to myself, wow this is real and for me very life changing! I at that moment realized what our marriage and family had been "missing." It was the Lord our Savior.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. That I no longer have to deal with all my "worries" alone anymore. I am a worrier, and I have tried so hard not to be. Scotty is very calm and collective and never worries about anything....so in that aspect we are opposites!

Tonight we went to a Life Meeting at Tom and Sarah Cochran's home. It was so nice to talk about God and learn about him in small groups. It was a great experience and we hope to attend many more.

Thank you God, for coming into my life and fulfilling my need. I love you, Amen.
