AMAZING DAY

Today was the most profound day I've had yet. Worship this morning was a moment I'll remember forever. I needed to be in a sacred space badly today. I get a lot of curious stares due to my big, blonde hair. Walking into the Sanctuary, I was greeted with many smiles and warm greetings. We started immediately singing the Doxology. The next hymn took me by surprise. When I left FCC in Abilene to be a part of WCC New Church Start, I knew I would miss singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" as this is my favorite hymn and our church is a contemporary one. When the choir began to sing it this morning, I was reduced to tears. I should have said first that I have not had any health issues until the last few days. Our hotel does not have any non-smoking rooms. The whole city smells of cigarette smoke. It is EVERYWHERE. The environment and smoke combined would be the death of me, I just knew it. So,my day began with a closed throat and many coughing fits from the smoke. I am also emotionally a bit spent from being on the go for eight days straight alongside lack of sleep. Point being, I was not feeling the love for this polluted, smoky city. Back to my story.....feeling bad, thinking about things back home, nose is running, eyes watering, throat closed and generally malaised
