I remember when I first connected at Mystery I was at a point in my life where I felt like I had no friends. After a few months of attending there I just started praying and God blessed me with the best friend I have ever had. Hugs friend.

We feel like we tried just about every church in town before God put us at Mystery. We know God has a plan in all of this, it's just hard to not feel a little hopeless when you "know what's out there". But ultimately all of this was for a reason and we know that our time at Mystery was for our good.Our Pretty Little Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852177809338904329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428509958800880038.post-27768891363369699992015-03-03T16:35:09.783-06:002015-03-03T16:35:09.783-06:00I don't have anything to add because you inclu...I don't have anything to add because you included all of the most important things!

Nice work friend. <br /><br />I'm embarrassed to admit that it's been a while since we attended service at our church. I love our pastor and he is super engaging but I don't feel the sense of community from our large church (even though I work there). We volunteer in te nursery once a month so that is really the only time we are guaranteed to go. I'm not sure how to get to know people better in our congregation or if we should shop for another church that is smaller....Our Pretty Little Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852177809338904329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428509958800880038.post-16526586887145397992015-03-03T13:25:24.970-06:002015-03-03T13:25:24.970-06:00Thank you.
