I have heard others and believed myself at one time that there was no need to actually go into a church building.

I have heard it said that God is everywhere, and that He can be found anywhere. Which I believe these are true statements.

However, it is so important to have other Christians around and present to help give support and lift you up. It gives you someone to talk to when you need a friend. I was not getting this when I attempted to find the Lord at home or on my morning run. Yes the Lord was there, but other Christians were not.

I have recently joined two different Bible studies, (out of church time) as well, and I can’t believe the amount of support I feel. I have made new friends, and it is the best feeling ever!

I am a quiet, reserved person, and felt so out of place the first few times I went, but now I see why the Lord told me to sign up for the classes. He knew what he was doing, as He always does! I have even found myself blurting out answers all of a sudden during class. So out of my norm, but the Lord is opening me up and making me blossom in front of my new found friends.

I encourage you to find some new Christian friends as well. 😊
