God in My Life @ Level Grove

I have experienced God in so many ways over the past 3 years that I have lived in Northeast Georgia. The largest way is the church home that he provided for me at Level Grove.

For me, this blog is very personal for me in the sense that it is what is going on in my life, and it gives me an amazing opportunity to allow others into my life and see how God is working in my life.

I'm sitting here, almost in tears, knowing the struggle that I've faced over the past 3 years. I'm almost in tears, because now I'm on the other side of that struggle. I've climbed that mountain, and now I'm successfully on the other side receiving the benefits, and blessings that God has for my life. It has been the hardest, most difficult years in my life, but I made it through.

I will never fully be able to adequately explain in words what the people and my brothers and sisters in Christ mean to me at Level Grove. When I moved here, I had no one. I knew 6 people who were all family members. Other than that, I did not know the area, I did not know the people, half the time, I didn't know where I was, and was lost. I was so scared.

That's when God brought me to Level Grove. I knew that the first thing I needed to do when I moved was to find a solid Bible believing church that would minister to me even if I couldn't minister to others. God knew that this was my time to be ministered too. I didn't know it, but He did.

As far as I was concerned, my life was fine. My relationship with God was fine, and that's all I needed to know. Well, it wasn't. My life was on a path that would have slowly led to destruction.

At Level Grove I found Godly men and women that ministered to me, and loved on me, and gave me the affirmation that I needed to know that God was still in my life. I will never be able to fully express how in over my head I was, but know that I was in it deep. I needed help, and God knew that I would find it at Level Grove.

I tell you all of these things to tell you this....Level Grove is and forever will be in my life somewhere that I love and cherish. Not because of the people, or the building, but because of the way that God was evident in every portion of my life while I went to that church. I don't know why God has called me away from Level Grove, but I know that if it weren't for God, it wouldn't be worth it. I love each and every person there deeply, and I plan on visiting often and whenever I can.

Live for Him,
Stephen
