church & life.

Although I have been going to church for ever (and the same church for most of the time!), I've never really felt connected anywhere. My church growing up had a revolving door of youth pastors, so there wasn't much of a chance to connect with one, or to formulate a strong connection with a youth group.

Since moving out, I've been going to a different church in the city with my roomie. The services were fabulous, but since it's a monster-size church, I was feeling rather lost in the crowd. So, I went out on a limb a joined a young adults group that met off campus. Turns out, the leader is the same lady from my youth group in grade 11, and several people from camp/school are in the same group! Small world! All that to say, I'm so thrilled with joining. It's more than easy to just attend church once a week and then leave without meeting anyone. But stepping (ha - more like leaping!) outside my comfort zone and meeting people, without a clue of how things would go, turned out to be a massively amazing blessing for me. I now feel connected at church, like I am part of it. I still have many more names to learn and people to meet, but it's off to a wonderful start! God is too great.
