This weekend in circles is very big, It’s either about a bunny or religion no matter what church, denomination or belief you are in. You may only go to church twice a year or be a regular attender.This time of year should mean more to you than any other time. I share my personal story about what this particular time of year has meant more to me than ever before.

I have been a believer since I was in 3rd grade. I have had slip ups and I have seen Jesus do miracles in my own family. But this year is so different and I will tell you why.

Our lives, Dan and I have been in struggles and in turmoil the last 17 yrs (In May) we have fled and sped as we were trying figure out things. We always made it a point to attend church and to do what we could to serve in church or in a ministry. Whether it be clothing, furniture and other times, to a food pantry or Children’s church or Music ministry.

But the last week and half has been rough, Promotions came out and I wasn’t on them and then Hotel changes for a friend and the finally my daughter who was demanding last minute changes. But that’s all clearing up.

But it made me feel like there was no way out.. That God couldn’t help me through it. It wasn’t til Friday night this week that I saw God in a new fashion. That I wasn’t placed at this church to serve but to me ministered to. I was very wounded and hurt by other people and ministries.

It wasn’t til Friday night that I said to God take all the pain away and take the hurt because I didn’t need it. There is enough on my plate, So I talked to my campus pastor after serving with the Kids on Friday night. That I wanted to be baptized on Saturday at 2nd service. Because I knew if I were to go til Sunday I would have burst and I did with the prayer people on Saturday night after baptism.

Dan and I were both baptized. I was first and Dan was last. It was wonderful to see all those men hold him up and pour water over him was awesome. The love that was shown to him and to us as a couple. Something that never would have happened anywhere else.

I am grateful for God to bring us back home after a couple of struggle and bring us back to where we could be useful and helpful to our families. Also

For me personally to show me his love and that he is my one True Love. God’s peace and tears flowed as never before. I walk around with a smile and thank God for each step I take and each person I come in contact with.
