Just like any other Sunday morning, I had been to Church last Sunday along with my sister at 10.00 am.
Had plan of attending a church with my cousin at 9.30 am
(as plan was to be at his house by 9 am and then leave to church)
As we woke up a bit late, by the time we got ready it was 8.40 am
(and to reach cousins place, it would nearly take an hour at-least)
so, thought of meeting him directly at the church itself
(as it was already late)
And, we tried connecting him over the call.
(to get his address as he had recently shifted to new place)
But, it didn’t connect. We decided let’s start and once near his place, I can again try connecting him.
It was already 9.30 am, when we were almost there near his place and I tried again, multiple times. It didn’t connect.
Finally when it connected, he couldn’t pick
(thought he must have overslept π and so we decided to go to another church Bethel AG, as it was my favorite church)
If its start of a day and your set plans don’t seem to work out well, you go crazy right?
But, then it was again okay, as we went to one of my favorite church.
All this shift in plan took place, as God’s plan for me was different to what I had planned for myself.
Sermon in church was all about “Discovering the true leader in you” and it was a really good sermon to start your day with. When it was time to break off from the church at the end of service.
This happened.
Closing hymn, which was the best of all. It connected me soo well.
And the song is this by Marty Nystrom.
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I have made the choice to listen for Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I have made the choice to listen for Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go
The shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep
The shepherd of my soul will be my guide
Trust me when I say this, there is no best feeling in the world other then knowing that something in you got you connected with God.
It is the most awesome feeling in the world for me. Is it the same with you? Please feel free to drop in your views on this post, if you have ever come across such connectivity with praise and worship or any of such amazing moments. Would love to hear them from you too .. π
Happy Reading! π

Hymns really make one feel closer to God, and I can totally relate to your experience! βΊοΈπ

Nevertheless, thanks again for the nomination. If not sooner but later atleast I’ll do write on this award nomination too.. βπ
