Found a new church

[step_by_step]

My "home" church has caused me and my family so so much pain in the past 10+ years. The ineffective leadership, the difficulty of working with family members, the blind leading the blind. It's been horrible. And because members of my family more or less run the place, it's been hard to get out. I was on the worship team for all of those 10+ years.

It started to get hard to worship God in that place. There's so much bitterness. So much pain. I knew it wasn't right for me to stand up there every week and lead people in worship when in my heart I wasn't there for God. I know there's a lot to be said for trying and not giving up. But God put it on my heart a while ago that it's time to go, that my "home" church doesn't have what I need right now.

So my mom and I started looking for new churches. The one we attended today was definitely the one. I feel it. They were so warm, so welcoming, and I feel as if that's where I need to be at least in this part of my life.

I'm so grateful to finally be in a real part of a church again!!
