Church Home

Last year I had some trouble finding a church home. I look in Levelland but never really felt like I fit in because any class I went to I was always the youngest or the only single one or the only person without kids. During the Spring semester I attended First Baptist Lubbock and was glad to see that people my age were attending as well (close to 400 people in fact) But I did not feel a sense of belonging. I still felt like another face in the crowd. I wanted to be involved but the opportunities were just not there. So I have decide to go on the search again. I do not want to settle for a church. I want to be in the church family that God has for me because there are great things waiting there for me. So far I have tried out two new churches and neither one seems to be the one to fit me. Once again I feel detached from the Sunday school classes that I attend. I am the odd one out most of the time. However a good thing about living next to Lubbock is the choices are numerous. In fact on Sunday I was trying to find the church that I want to go to and I kind of got lost and ended up driving by three more Baptist churches. It is funny and kind of sad to think that there are so many churches around us yet there are states who are lucky if they even have one church in a city. Also to think of countries where you are persecuted for being a Christian yet we have 50 churches in one city and that is only the Baptist churches. How did it get that way? What caused us to have so many churches here yet so few in many other states?
Well I would ask for your prayers as I continue to search for the family that God is calling me to be a part of. I do not want to settle but find a place where I fit in and can plug in and serve God along with the others in that family. I also ask that you will pray for my church in Dublin. They have been praying for September 12, Double in Sunday. Each Sunday School classes has set a goal and on the 12th they are going to try and reach that goal. So I ask that you will be praying that this church goal is reached and that the people who are a part of it are able to see the hand of God through it all. Well I hope that you have enjoyed the first half of the week and continue to enjoy the second. Have a happy Wednesday.
