My Return to Church

Gathered together in His name

Matthew 18:20

I am currently a member of Spirit of Faith Christian Center in Temple Hills, Maryland. I have enjoyed attending the services there for over 7 years and feel as though my walk with Christ has been enhanced as a result of the teachings. When I found out I had cancer, I turned to the church to offer me inspiration and encouragement to fight this battle. Once I began my radiation treatments I no longer had the strength to attend church services. At that point I began listening to and studying the works of Joel Osteen. It brought me great satisfaction. I currently read Joel Osteen teachings each morning to begin my day and listen to his teachings on a regular basis. However, I knew I had to get back into the church and fellowship with others.

I stayed away from the church because of weakness and large crowds. My immune system had already been and continues to be compromised and I did not want to contract any illnesses. However, I longed to be back with my congregation and praise and worship my Lord & Savior. Well guess what? On Sunday, July 14th I prayed and made my journey to church. I prayed that God would protect me from all germs and that I'd have the energy to praise Him! He came through. I thoroughly enjoyed my return to my church home and look forward to attending on a regular basis. Isn't God awesome? Yes He is!!!
