Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
I can't think of it more simply put. Even though my life is going to change completely in the next few months, God will be with me through it all. A quote I often remember is "the God of Angel armies is always by my side". I pray that God always walk beside me with his arm around my shoulder and his hand over my mouth.
This is something that calms me so much when I get anxious about leaving. I know that I won't be alone. There will be someone that is leading me with every step I take and every breath I breathe.
On that note, in March of this year, I went on a mission trip with my church to New York City. The last night we were there, we went to a Good Friday service at "Times Square Church". We were all complaining about it and just wanted to be headed home because we were so tired. But let me just tell you, I am so happy we stayed! It was truly one of the most powerful services I have ever been to. Everyone there was so happy to be there and was worshiping with their whole heart. It was so humbling to see so many people on fire for God in a city that is definitely not considered Christian. It was something I have never experienced because in the south, everyone goes to church. It's just something that you grow up doing because your parents make you. In New York, most people don't attend church. You just don't feel obligated to go to church because most people don't. So when you do attend a church in New York (and New England in general), it is because you WANT to be there. It is because you want to worship God and build a stronger relationship with him. It blew my mind how present the holy spirit was in the room that night.
So obviously, I will be attending starting in October. It is an awesome venue too! It is in an old Broadway theatre called the Mark Hellinger Theatre. It's located in Times Square (hint the name) in the heart of midtown at 51st and Broadway. Some of the few shows that have played there are "My Fair Lady", "Jesus Christ Superstar", and "The Sound of Music". Such a historic building. Beautiful too!
Anyways, I think that's all for tonight. I need to get some sleep!
Love,
Molly
