Church Shopping

Can I tell you a little secret? I don't like hunting for churches. I don't like walking in and knowing no one. I don't like how overly analytical I am of new pastors. I don't like that I will be going to different Churches most Sundays for the next month or so. I don't like that churches don't instantly "feel" like home (most of the time). I wish God would put a big bulls-eye on front of the church for me.

It was easy when I was in Houston. I went to First one Sunday with a few of my friends that went there... Loved it and was done. I have not had the same epiphany in Dallas. Not that I have not been to several wonderful churches. I have... But none of them are First or Grace, and there in lies my problem. I miss my church "home". I miss my girls from the youth group. I miss serving. I miss knowing people when I walk to "big church". I miss community. All of which are precious things I cannot instantly have here... no matter how amazing a sermon may or may not be. It is a process and I am starting over again. I accept it but I don't have to like the process.

For now, my quest for the church for "me" continues. Pray for wisdom and that God shows me the bulls-eye. I am ready to be plugged in again. I yearn to be where Christ can best use my gifts. Please don't take your fellowship for granted! It is a precious gift that I am eagerly awaiting again! I miss you HFBC!
