I truly...I must have missed the shower post...LOL <br /> I truly think God has a plan for each of us and I sometimes wonder if my missteps and path changes and switchbacks aren't all due to the devil working overtime trying to trip me up. I'm glad you found your way, but mostly I'm glad that you are happy about it. That's all that matters.

We left the church we belonged to after it became evident that it was "their" (the core group) church and not God's church. So I well understand what you mean about losing faith in some of the people and the church, but never in God. I wish you all the best in your new church!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-22697532173031598322015-02-08T07:19:58.345-06:002015-02-08T07:19:58.345-06:00So sorry your former church was not there for you ...So sorry your former church was not there for you when you needed them.

I do wish you all the best my friend. I never went to church growing up and then in my early 20's started going to church. For a long time I went to a non-denominational Church. Then after going to the same church for years it started to change. They got a new pastor and it just wasn't the same. So we started looking for a new Church. We ended up at a Baptist church. We Loved it and went there till we started on this adventure of ours. I'm probably telling you way more than you want to hear. Sorry about that.<br /><br />Hugs~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052655796247020555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-49803592482798650192015-02-07T16:47:13.719-06:002015-02-07T16:47:13.719-06:00Thoughtful and faith-filled post.

It's a core of my life and one I am happy to share. Thank you for sharing.

We all need a spiritual home and that is something that i believe is difficult to find... a place in which you feel safe and supported in your spiritual journey. So many churches I have found are mainly interested in expanding etc, and they are really not there for you when you need them. Thankfully our heavenly father is always there beside us, unlike many people. Good for you for making this decision, and for feeling free to share it. Love to you!
