When my bf and I started dating, he was going to a church in Frisco. So that him and I, could spend more time together, I decided to go with him. A few weeks later, we decided that we needed to find a church for the both of us. One that we could call home. We started going to one that his friend had been going to, City Church in Plano. After the first service we attended, we mutually agreed that we were in. We've been consistent and present every Sunday. Some Sundays we're later than others, but we never manage to miss a day.
Fast forward a month or so...
Word gets around church that Timothy is a hairdresser. Pastor Wendy wants to get her hair done by him. The only problem is, is that not too long ago, he lost his tools to do natural hair. Not just some. Not just a few. Everything. So Timothy told her that he is touched, but couldn't do it until he had his tools again. She understood.
Fast forward to today...
Another Sunday (so we thought). We get to church. Sit through and enjoy service as always. Most of the time, we leave early because he has to go to work. Today was one of those days. We both get up, start walking and *BOOM*, Pastor Ray, which is Pastor Wendy's husband, calls Tim's name. I'm like, doh! Busted! They call us down front and start talking about how we've been in their thoughts and prayers for the past few weeks and went through the whole story of how Tim lost all his tools, etc. Then the unthinkable happened. They asked the congregation to donate what they could, if they chose to, to help him, us to get what he needed to do his job. And then... Both pastors, the whole congregation prayed over us. It was so overwhelming and uplifting. I lost it. All emotions just flowed. And then Pastor Wendy grabbed me, held me and prayed over me. It was such a great, overwhelming feeling. I have never experienced anything like that. In my life. Ever. One person who manages the church website even offered to build Tim a website with online booking and services for free for a year! What the what?! He and I were just talking about finding an online booking site for him to use. Today was absolutely amazing. I seriously cannot put into words how grateful and blessed we are to have a church that we can call home and to have people in that church that we can call a family.
I'm wishing everyone a blessed day!!!
