I had a dream, I was talking with my Granny. Now, this is the one person who was never supposed to leave me. Yet back in 2008 she did My Granny (Wyoline Zipperer)
She's in heaven with Jesus now watching over all of us, I know she is.
Anyways, the dream. We were talking about my decision to join the church of Christ and me being baptized back in December and sharing the watery grave with Christ and trying to live my life in a manner that is pleasing and ever increasing to showing Christ through me. I'm not even sure what we all said but I know I told her that it was the strangest thing to me, the first Sunday I went, I went to an evening service. And, after leaving that night having met a few people, I just knew I was Home. I had found my new church and church family. But I ended up telling her that while it wasn't Methodist, we were all following the Bible and living a Christ filled life and that I was teaching the kids that. Then she gave me a hug, told me 'well that's ok then' and left me again.
I woke up in that strange place of happy and sad, happy to have her approval because that has always meant so much to me and sad that she left me again. I know that since starting at Dasher church of Christ, I have learned so much and Lili has too and even Jack is starting to. I mean no disrespect to the people at Clyattivlle Methodist, that is where I grew up and when I started going back to Christ that is where I went, but it just didn't feel right anymore. I know there are a few who are disappointed in me, but I have to do what I feel is right for my family, not just follow along with everyone else. Those are the people that have known me since I was born, and I do miss seeing them, but I feel like God led me to Dasher and the family there and I am so thankful that he did. I'm loving my church and loving my Christ!
