I testified last night, that my church is my family. Outside of Bill and Chris, my family is not close. Over the past few years, if it had not been for my "family" I don't know where I/we would be today. My church family has helped me/us through many difficult situations--financially, medically, emotionally/mentally and spiritually. God has used me is so many ways, that has taken me WAY out of my comfort zone. He has directed my path toward the less fortunate of His children. First it was toward the homeless of downtown Dallas, then it was toward the orphans of Pleasant Hills Children's Home, and now He is directing me toward the elderly in the nursing homes. It is through my obedience of His direction, that has drawn me closer and closer to God. I know that I am not were I want/need to be with God, yet, but I am on my way. It has been through the support and the encouragement of my family that has taken me this far. There are no words to adequetly express how grateful I am to God for placing me in this church family. I say thank you to God and my church family.
