One small step for many of you, but it has been a giant leap for me!
I have been feeling (yes, physically feeling) a huge need to find and go to church and join a congregation. I was raised a Catholic, and growing up I was very active in church, I had many spiritual experiences and I was able to clearly hear the voice of God and recognize when He talked to me…
I lost that ability when I went to college and changed my relationship with God. Nothing has been the same since, I made many mistakes, I got married and I got divorced…. meaning that I was shunned by the Catholic church when I married my present husband.
I need to have a closer relationship with God, even more so now than before, I’m raising a family, married life has not been easy, but we have overcome many obstacles and we are already in our 13th year together.
A few months ago, I started to feel this urge to find a congregation, start studying the Word of God and change my life. Every day I was “pushed” in front of something or someone who reminded me of what I need to do… go to church and live every day of my life according to the plans God has for me!
Today I took the courage to stop by a particular church that is at walking distance from my home… it’s not the only church at walking distance, in fact there are over 5 in the perimeter but is THIS particular church that I was drawn to.
Once there, I was welcomed with a friendly smile I was given the program for the week and the lady who gave me the information made me feel at home, talking to her I felt a weird feeling inside (it was a good weird, not a bad weird)… was it joy? was it comfort?
She was not preaching to me, she was not praying, she was just talking to me giving me the information I wanted, but then I felt this strange sensation and I felt the goosebumps on my arms…
Is this normal? What does it mean? Have you experienced this before?
