DAY 4: FREEDOM by Brenda West

DAY FOUR: FREEDOM by Brenda West
First and foremost, I feel so blessed that God loved me so much that he would lead me to the church that I had been longing to be a part of. Here is how I got to Trace Crossing. I had shared with my daughter Stephanie that I felt God was leading me in a different direction. She suggested I talk to her friend Emma Kate because she had been telling Stephanie about the church, and was very excited about what was going on there. So there I went, calling a lady I had never laid eyes on. When she talked about the church, there was excitement in her voice. I had not heard "EXCITEMENT" about church in years. Emma Kate invited me to visit, and I have been there ever since! Praise God!

The part I love most about Trace Crossing is the freedom to worship! I was asked the other day in one word to describe my church. My answer was “Freedom!” Just to come before the Lord with total peace in my heart. I hope that makes sense. Hey, I can raise my hands in praise, dance if I want to, fall to my knees and pray if that's what the Lord leads me to do. AWESOME! It is wonderful to be at a church with people who are seeking God in the most powerful way. Not seeking self but seeking God!

My prayer for the church is:
Father I ask you to bless Trace Crossing. To lead us in the direction You have for us as a church family. Help us to be bold yet humble.Lord I ask that we be a church of Grace, Love, an Hope to ANYONE who enters the doors.Help us to be good stewards with the blessings only you can give.I love you Lord Jesus, in Christ name I pray… AMEN
