There is still hope for next Sunday!



This is where I had hoped to visit Sunday. It is a renovated building that has been made into a Christian Arts theater and Grace Community Church. Joe and I were prepared for warm faces and welcomes but instead the front door was locked. I was so discouraged. Joe almost busted on the ice when he checked the back door......love his heart.......as if we thought they had maybe locked us out or something. Silly me starts wondering if it is a sign that we shouldn't go there and try another but Joe calmly says....God knows we came.....we will try until the door is open. Definitely the right words to tell me. I was getting in my "Debbie Downer" mode. It's silly I know but I feel their are wonderful experiences, relationships, and worship services to experience, but not on that Sunday. I spoke to a neighbor and they said the church usually closes with bad weather so the elderly don't try to make it out in the cold......ahhhh.....I completely see now and it actually makes me feel really good about everything. I know I ramble but this meant a lot to me and anyone who has ever attended a great church knows how it feels to look forward to it week by week. The only difference is I never attended this church but I still looked forward to it. Praying for next Sunday!
