Come Home

Last night, I made my Transit* Band debut! And it was amazing being up on stage during worship! Music is something that I am very passionate about and I have missed it oh so very much. However exciting this may be, it was not the highlight of my night. The best part of the night was that my sister came. Although she left after worship, she came. And I could not be more excited. It broke my heart when she left. I was still on stage and I just wanted to run after her and beg her to stay. After service and talking to Pastor Travis and others I realized how big of a step it was for her to just be there. Soon my sadness and disappointment that she didn’t stay was replaced by joy, excitement, and hope that the little bit she saw makes her want to come back. I love my sister dearly and it would mean the world to me if she would just “come home.”


The series we are currently in: “Come Home” has been absolutely incredible. I have a relationship with God and I no longer feel lost, but last night it service Pastor Travis said that God wants three things for each of us. The one that stood out most to me is “He wants to bring you peace.”Peace is something I have struggled with the past week and a half or so. I have become so stressed and it feels like major chaos. I know that I need to give it all to God, and I am working on that. But last night when Pastor Travis said, “He wants to bring you peace” I started to tear up. It helped me to realize that even though it is too big for me to handle on my own, nothing is too big for God. “I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
