Hey guys! How has your week been? This will
be a pretty quick sharing because it’s nearly midnight and it’s going to be a
pretty packed day tomorrow. So.
Anybody from my church probably falls into
one of these two categories: 1, they don’t know me, or 2, they can tell you
honestly that I’m way too quiet.
For the longest time, I didn’t feel at home
at church. I skipped cell and service whenever I could. I didn’t come back to
youth service until secondary 3, and even then, I’d mostly hide in the gallery
overlooking the service hall because I didn’t feel comfortable there. I didn’t
think I fit in. It’s horribly egoistic, but totally true. And for the longest
time, because of that, I was very quiet, I didn’t participate, I didn’t
socialize, I didn’t have any close friends in church. I was constantly running
away.
I’m so thankful though. This year, God has
really turned things around. Yes, I’m still comfortable at school (although,
strangely, less so now. I feel the same sort of discomfort at school that I
used to feel at church). Yes, I still have close friends at school. But I can
also say that yes, my church is my second home. I really thank God for putting
me in a cell leadership position. Because I’m a leader, I have a leader’s cell.
And this is the only cell I’ve had that I straightaway was myself in. This is
the first time in church I’ve shared so much about myself with others. This is
the first time in church that I’ve laughed so hard that I’ve cried. This is the
first time in church that I’ve felt so accepted.
Praise the Lord for this leader’s cell, and
may God abundantly bless each and every leader in this cell. Praise God!
Thanks guys for reading! I’ll post again
soon!
God bless!
Love,
Gabbi
