Welcome Home

Jeremiah 24 vs 7 says “And I’ll give them a heart to know me, GOD. They’ll be my people and I’ll be their God, for they’ll have returned to me with all their hearts.”

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been complaining about the responsibilities I’ve been given at church. I wasn’t doing them because I wanted too but because people (my parents and pastor) wanted me to. I wasn’t growing or learning and felt like it was one of the main things that was affecting my relationship with God. I knew had to make some changes but didn't know where to start.

My sister had been going to Hillsong and New Life for a couple years and I could definitely see a difference in her. So I thought - why not try it out? I did some research and went to the Bermondsey campus in London. I’m not saying this for effect but it was an amazing experience, I could feel the presence of the Lord from the moment I walked through the doors. The worship was absolutely amazing and it was the first time in a very long time that I actually worshipped God with all my heart. I cried so much, I just couldn’t control myself and till this day I don’t know what triggered it. Personally, I think my soul was happy because when I left, I felt a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt like God was  saying “WELCOME HOME, you have returned to me”…it’s kind off ironic because Hillsong have a massive sign that says Welcome Home once you walk in and I always feel at peace whenever I’m there.

My new home is Hillsong and I’ve been going there for the last 6 months, its still early days but I’m enjoying it so far. There is a lot to do in terms of my journey with Christ but I’m confident that I will get there sooner rather than later. Sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith and try something new, I’m glad I did because I’m a lot happier now and can't wait to see where my new journey is going take me.

Stay blessed xxx
