Amen

Hesitantly.

That’s how I walked through the door that very first time.

An acquaintance had recommended a Bible study group
that met in someone’s home in our local area. It wasn’t affiliated
with our church, wasn’t even necessarily in the stream of our
particular denominational vein. But I’d been expressing to
some close friends a new hunger I’d been feeling for going
deeper with God—for experiencing Him more fully. More
tangibly. Wasn’t sure what all of that meant exactly, just feeling
slightly stuck and restless in my spiritual journey. They’d
assured me that these people and this environment were
exactly what I needed. I wondered, however, walking into this
house for the first time, if I might have gotten myself into a bit
more of a tangible experience than I’d bargained for.
