Church today

Ok, so I must admit it. I don't like one of the pastors at church as much as I like Pastor Charlie. Now, Pastor Brian always teaches me something and I have to force myself to listen to him. I'm not exactly sure why. I really like what he has to say but somehow I have a hard time following his outline.

All of that to say that today I was sitting in church between my niece and my 10 year old nephew. My niece is in high school now so she behaves :o)

My nephew has a hard time sitting still and I was starting to feel bad for the people that were sitting behind us. He was drawing on some paper that his mom had given him and he was trying to behave. I could tell that it was just hard.

He got to ride with me on the way over to his house since I had been invited for lunch (yeah!). While we were in the car I asked him what the sermon was about. And he was right on.

He said that Pastor Brian talked about how some people do not model Christ in our lives and how we need to surround ourselves with people that do. Right on Andrew!!! It was sinking in even when I thought that it didn't.

So I've been thinking, ever since the sermon about how I need to do that for myself. I moved to Greenville about three years ago now. And I don't have very many people that I would consider good good friends. There are my sisters of course. I love them deeply but they have their lives, and I don't want to burden them with what is going on in my life too much. You can only hear the same sob stories so many times. I'm afraid I bore them.

Now I know all of you are saying that I have wonderful sisters and they would never feel that way or say that to me. And you are right....but I can't help but feel like that is want I do to them. So I want to spread it around a little! LOL

There are some girls that are going to start and bible study in January and I'm really excited that they have asked me to be a part of it. I feel like this is a beginning to get some women in my life that will model Christ to me. And hopefully me to them.

I am around a lot of women at work that are jealous and spiteful to each other. And I think that this will be a great way for me to renew my spirit and renew my love for other people.

So thank you Pastor Brian for once again teaching me something at church today and for being a great model of Christ in my life!
