EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT
Have you ever felt lost? Not knowing which path to take? Not knowing where to go for answers? Not sure if you are making the right decisions in life? But you know that you’ve got to do something or you are going to make some really bad decisions.
I met Pastor Twyla outside of church, at her other job. A friend recommended her, so I made an appointment and we “clicked” so to speak. The second time I saw her, I was in a really bad place; I was super depressed, extremely emotional, but more than all that I was lost. Spiritually lost. I had walked away from a faith that I had grown up in, but had lost total respect for and I knew I would never return to it. But I knew I needed something. I needed God in my life. I needed his guidance. And I honestly believe that he led me to Twyla. We talked some and before I left she handed me a piece of paper and on it were written the times 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and Wednesday’s at 6:30, Bible Study.
I didn’t go that first week. I’ve never been one to do things by myself; I’ve always been a little scared, believe it or not, bashful, and intimidated and really nervous about meeting new people. And I knew no one at this church. But yet, I did. I knew one person and that was Brandon. My husband and I have been dealing with him for many years and had developed a friendship with him. The next week Twyla sent me a message saying that Brandon was going to sing one of her favorite songs and I should come hear him. I already knew that he could sing; he can break out into song at the strangest times at his store. So I took a deep breath and told myself that I could do this. I had invited my husband to come with me but, he declined. So I was on my own. I was so nervous when I pulled into the parking lot that I almost left. But I didn’t. I walked up to that door, gave myself a little mental push and entered and was greeted by Mr. Ed. That eased a lot of my fears right there and I had made it through the door. Then I turned and saw I had another door to walk through and I thought, is this a test Lord, to see if I can really make it inside. And I did make it through. Brandon saw me and greeted me and he took me down and introduced me to some ladies and told me I would be in good hands. When services started, Brandon started singing this song and it was beautiful. It was about a place called Grace and it was then that I realized that I had found what I was looking for. I was no longer lost. And as tears rolled down my face, that heavy weight on my shoulders lifted. God had led me here to Faith Tabernacle where I was not only embraced by His arms but those of the many people I have met here over the months.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5) Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6) Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take
Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you, I will up hold you with my victorious right hand.
