i got up yesterday, did a little house work, cleaned a little bit and then off to Church...
i must really say that i always leave church feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the week...
here is the thing, i am not a "religious" person...what does that mean? i don't call myself a baptist, (although i grew up in a southern baptist church) i don't call myself AME, even though that's the type of church i attend, i can't call myself a JW even though i have studied with them and attended their services...
i call myself a Christian...period and i am spiritual and believe in creating and maintaining a personal relationship with GOD, that's what i believe and all knowledge comes from reading the Bible and studying the word...and my pastor said that yesterday (side note: it took me ummmmm 4 years to find a church home, that's how serious i take it and i had fallen off but i am back in full action)
"i have no more power in the word of GOD than you do, my power comes from the same source your power comes from the Bible all you have to do is read it for yourself..."
powerful words in deed why...because 1 its the TRUTH and 2 most pastors don't tell you that, a lot of them would have you to believe that you HAVE to depend on them to understand the word...not so, we each have to develop our own individual relationship with GOD...
okay...
it was just a good day...nice weather, good folks, family and friends (a lot of my Kiamsha folks were there) so it was really a great day...inspiring to say the least has been my weekends here lately...
