A new Church

So we've been hunting, searching, seeking for a church for quite awhile. Our church Closed down the last Sunday in July. We've been to many churches. One church I had found to visit before the close of our church was The Journey. I had showed Tom and he wasn't interested, his reasoning, we hadn't left the church we were at. God knew what he was doing, shortly after our church closed. After the close, we just started to visit churches our friends would invite us to. Needless to say we didn't find anything. I had lightly mentioned The Journey again, but he didn't take the bait until our friend Jon started going there and invited us to come. I was soo not happy. I was mad because i couldn't figure out why it took Jon inviting us before he would go visit. Thinking back, I probably should have been more like, we are visiting this church on this sunday. Its not like I lack the bluntness gene or anything. I can be pretty demanding when I want to be. Anyway, before our visit, everywhere I looked somehow The Journey would pop up. Now that we've been visiting I think this is the church for us. I really like the Pastor, he is real and very confident in what the church is doing. Stable. Oohhh Stable. I dont know what thats like, a stable church in the Valley. And everyone is so nice. When you walk by they just say hi like your a regular attendee, or if your talking they will jump in and join in the conversation, its not like they seek you out and get into those all to uncomfortable, so your new conversations. Or try to "recruit" you into their church. If its a fit, awesome come join us, if not good luck finding the place God has for you. Its definitely a switch. We will keep praying that this is the place for us. We will keep you posted. In the meantime if you want to check them out, its takethejourney.org.
