"Something always brings me back to you, and it never takes too long"

I was having a flash back today of my spring semester freshmen year when I was in search of the right church. I had been slightly avoiding it because oddly for some reason going to new church completely alone is frightening. Nervously I walked into an old church (wooden benches, high ceilings, stained windows) in la habra wearing a strapless flowing summer dress. I had dressed up for the occasion hoping it would give me more confidence going in as I took a seat by myself near the front. Still feeling lost I started to sing the words to the first worship song. There was no one around that I knew, I didn't feel self conscious, and slowly I just let go and was completely myself. I wept. It was a beautiful experience. I felt completely free from the eyes of others but never more clearly seen by the eyes of God.

I go to Rock Harbor church regularly since last year, and I love it there. It's the opposite of the church I was just talking about. But it's more of what captivates me-it's lively, colorful, and creative. But intimate at the same time. I really want to get more involved at Rock Harbor. Take on some kind of position there.
