a hole new experience

Well, this morning was amazing! I went to my first ever nondenominational church. I have a friend who goes their so I figured I'd try it first, before looking at other churches in the area. wayne (the uncle) and I headed out about 9:30. Its quite a drive from moms to church, but as you'll read later, it was well worth it. So I had no clue what to expect, so I'm texting my friend just asking all kinds of questions. The last text I sent her saidsomething like I'm nervous, we should be their soon, or how about now. Then I turned off the phone and threw it in my purse. So we went in and sat as far in the back as possible in case we had to make a quick exit. And I mean we were in the baaaaaaack. Like, right up on the wall back. People came over and said hi and stuff, then it started. From the start I was like, wow! play that music! and the spirit started moving. I actually got chills several times throughout the service, and I don't think it was the air making me chill. So we sang a lot. Then he preeched his sermen, very well done, might I say! let me tell you something, for a church of christ girl I certainly gave god the praise today. I love a place where I'm able to clap and say amen whenever I want. Not saying anything bad about antioch, I love their style, and the singing is hard to beat, but this was just like out of this world! and I felt it, big time. Wayne said a few times he thought I was gonna jump up and shout praise god! and when something was said I agreed with I let them know by clapping. Once or twice I was one of only a few clappers, but so what. Now I'm hooked, big time. We hadn't even left the parking lot yet and I was thinking, man, can we go back! We had one person speek in tongues. at first I was confused. I was like well maybe they're a translator for spanish or something. Right behind that thought was if so they're kinda behind. I asked wayne what was going on and about the time I asked, it clicked. o! cool! they're speeking tongues. I was kinda nervous when they first started, I was thinking if they start rolling around in the floor and screaming and hollering I might have to go outside for a sec. But it was very calm and quiet, and he said what he needed to say then he was done. I thought it was respectfull that the preeture stopped speeking while this was going on. So now i'm trying to figure out how to get back their as much as humanly possible. its not fair to ask wayne to take me every time, because that's not his cup of tea. So the pondering continues.
