I was saved at a very young age, I was about 8 years old. I thought that I needed to rededicate myself in my early teens, and have thought that I was ok ever since. That is until this year. I've started going to a church that's really on fire for God and I love it there.
It was hard leaving my old church, and all my friends there, but it was something that God was leading me to do. The pastor of my old church seemed to understand my change, but later, I heard from my friends things he was saying about my church.
The church I go to now is pretty contemporary, whereas the church I used to go to is very traditional. My church now is growing, people are being healed, and lives are being changed.
But everytime I hear my old pastor start preaching, everytime I'm there, he tends to make a comment about "those churches who think they're in the will of God who are just deceiving people." I take offense to this and its got to the point that I have hard feelings toward my old pastor. But I know I should love him, pray for me about this.
I love my new church, I love being challenged to grow in my faith, something I wasn't getting before. But I'm feeling overwhelmed by all that's going on in my spiritual life now. Its like, God is wanting me to grow, but there's still a small part of me that's scared and is low on faith. I really need all your prayers for my faith, for me to have the courage and the patience to do what I know I need to do. Thank you.
God bless,
Desiree
P.S. Also, pray that I'll remember to make God my day's first priority, to make room for other things in my schedule only after I have my time with God.
