Go My Children

February 24, 2013


HAPPY SUNDAY!! :D So today was an interesting day, well...I don't want to say that, then you guys might get too excited ;) but today was a...umm, I guess a bitter sweet day??

So we found this new church that is down the street from our church. We decided to go there for the first time last Sunday just to open our mind since we are moving (that will be another post of its own) and we said, hey why not go check this place out? It's funny because this was the same way we found our church, and it's been ten years since we have been members! So anyway, this new church was AWESOME! I could totally feel the presence of God just flooding this place with life! This church was very similar to the church that I attend near my university. ~ You are probably thinking how many churches I go to, right? Haha I promise it's not a lot! I just like exploring sometimes!!~

Anyways, today we decided to go back to that church, and i'm glad that we did! The pastor preached about how there are two roads in life. One, the broad one where you are in control and you can just cruise right on through, but it leads to destruction. The second path, is a narrow one, and Jesus says that only some find it, but this path is hard and windy and confusing, but it leads to life. He went onto talk about the difference between the two roads and how the latter one is about letting God take the wheel, while the first road is about you being in control. So the sermon came down to, which path would you take?

After this church we raced to our church because we wanted to say goodbye. We attended our church and it was nice, but what was nicer was the way God spoke to my mom and I. At the end of the service we always sing one last hymn, and today's hymn was Go My Children. It goes "Go my children with my blessing, never alone. Waking, sleeping, I am with you, you are  my own." Can God send us off from this place, a place where we have been for ten years of our lives, a place that became a home to us, in any other way? Honestly i'm not ashamed to say that it made my mom and I tear up a bit. As this song played, I thought about all the stuff that happened in this place. How we came as three, leaving as two, how we laughed and cried in this place, how God was here. But the thing is, God is still here, He isn't just in that place, He is in us. We are his church. Honestly, what is a church other than a place where God dwells? So if He is in us, then we are a church!

So as we left we said our goodbyes, promised we would stay in touch. But you know,  goodbyes are only for people or things that we will never see again. So I guess the better term is, see ya later! (:
God is good people, really good. SO, KEEP SMILING!
