Okay- just wanted to lay something out that I just haven’t had time to put down. This past Sunday as I walked into NHC I was a bit overwhelmed by the elation that came over me. (Bear with me - yeah - I’m bout to lay the smack down!)
As I milled around the lobby getting Taira signed in to Uhambo and saying my hellos…it was just one of them feelings. I walked into the doors of the auditorium where Gary and the Worship team were already in the mix and found my “people”. And every step of the way I saw a familiar face, got a smile, a hug, a wave….and as I was worshipping I’d look around the room and it just hit me. You know- all of these now familiar and friendly faces I would never have known if not for NHC. All these folks that appear happy to see me and I am equally as happy to see…were completely unknown to me this time last year. Now it’s like I have a whole new group of family and friends. I feel….well…Blessed. Just when I was getting frustrated by a few things that have been going on…God reminded me that He is always looking out for me. It’s like God smiled down on me and decided I needed a few more people in my life who would make my days a bit brighter! I wonder if people at NHC know just how meaningful thier one smile, wave, friendly hello or hug can be to just one person. And it just multiplies across the place. It’s like that Pay It Forward concept. I smile at you and it makes your day a little brighter, you smile at someone else, and so on and so on. It’s infectious. So thanks to all the people at NHC who have reached out to me in one way or another and added to the Blessing God has given me through NHC.
LOVE YA!!...
