Sunday December 14, 2008 I went to Twin Lakes Church. It was fun. I went to see a Christmas program. It was the first time in about 10 years since I have gone to church other then for a wedding or a funeral. The Christmas program was good. I had wanted to take Jett but he was too tired to go in the morning and wanted to stay home to watch "Ghostbusters." My little heathen! He thinks that God lives at Costco! I did however, persuade him to come with me for the evening service. Yep, that's right I went twice! Crazy, I know. When I got home I told hubby that I needed a big glass of Vino! I liked the message and the church in general. Jett was pretty good sitting through the program. He kept asking me when the movie was going to start. lol. I realized that I have never taken him to anything live before. When the music started and he wanted his ears covered I remembered why I have not taken him to live event before. I had to cover his ears the whole time. It was a little daunting but we made it through the 90 minute performance.
I would like to take the boys to Sunday school. Not every Sunday maybe just once a month or so. I have a couple of other churches in the area to check out before I make a choice. I want to make sure that the Sunday school class does not preach hell, fire and brimstone. I just want the boys to have a basic understanding of Bible stories.
I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 9 years old. I still remember it to this day. I was at Vacation Bible School sponsered the Church of the Nazerene in Noble, Ok. I was sincere in my repentance and acceptance of Christ. My life has been a journey where my faith has been concerned. I do believe in God and the whole miracle of Christ being born to a virgin. I know I have some friends who would not share my feelings and that is ok. I believe that faith is a personal journey and only you and your soul can find what you are searching for. I know what I believe and I want to expose my children to my faith. I have no idea where their journey of faith acceptance will lead them but I am their mother I feel that it is my responsibility to share the faith I believe.
In any event, I am mostly writing this for myself. It is not really open for others opinions. It is a personal journey for me and for me alone. I guess the Season has me thinking about what it is that I believe. Finding a church to attend has been something that I have been thinking about for a while. I really do not want to discuss faith very much with others because people can be so judgemental about this stuff. I just know what I want and what I believe & I do not really want to be preached at or told where to go to church etc. I just want to find a comfortable community of like minded folks.
