ChurCH!!!




OK its that’s time again for another… so this past  Sunday I went to church for my own reasons I will not name the place of worship I attend ed. I will tell you that it was a black Penacostal church. Walking in I was very fearful it’s always hard walking into some ones world of beliefs. Buts I held my head high and knew Gods angels were surrounding me. A lot of the service was difficult to understand because the church members were from different parts of Africa. So I tried to catch what I could. The music was different from what I am normally used to but it worked for me and God to connect on an audio basis.  When greeting every one said “shalom” Which I have always thought was Jewish or Hebrew but I guess not. “Shalom” in their language means hello or peace with you. After the greeting we stood for three whole hours. Now keep in mind when I go to church I step out for Jesus I look fly ok. So of course I had on my beautiful 3 inch white (an after labor day) shoes on just stuntin and blistering. I wanted to relieve my pain but I couldn’t I didn’t want to be rude an sit while everyone was standing. So I stood, and stood, and stood.  The pastor finally came to the pulpit and addressed us to sit thank God literally. The message from what I could understand was good. He was speaking about being a do-er and not just standing bye. What took me back the most was after church there was a meeting called for the youth. Now I’m 22 I consider myself a little past the youth but who doesn’t wasn’t to be considered young? So I answered that I would stay for the meeting there where about 8 of us sitting and pondering what the meeting could be about. A tall black man stood at the pulpit and discussed with the group the need for youth activities such as choirs and projects as well as youth community. WE all took numbers and have now agreed to meeting up with one another. So in essence ……….. I think I have found another calling!
