I just had to tell people about the experience I had at church last Sunday...
Well, I went up for communion. I kneeled at the alter and felt like I was about to explode into tears. My dad kneeled next to me, and put his hand on my shoulder. That's all it took. My mom, on the other side of me, rubbed my arm. A woman that just started mentoring me, came up to the alter and put her hand on my shoulder. She prayed for me out loud and asked God to guide me and protect me. I looked up just enough to see the pastor kneel in front of me and put his hand on my arm. After that, it was like I blocked everything out around me. I saw Jesus coming towards me with a flowing white robe. I felt like he wrapped himself around me. I all of the sudden felt comforted. I stopped crying. I couldn't even hear the music playing on the stage right in front of me. I remember swaying back and forth and feeling like I was in his arms. My eyes were closed the whole time. I didn't snap out of it until the music was over and the pastor went up to give his final message. The weird thing is that when I got up, I didn't remember what happened...I just felt totally relaxed. But as I replayed that event over and over again, a few days later I remembered what I saw. It's something I'll never forget.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that and give a reminder of how amazing things can happen when you reach out to God!
