• I'm becoming more rebellious

  People mock me until i conform but i'm too rebellious to conform to the world.

  I'm in the world but I'm not of this world.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  My Friday evenings are spent going to COP to praise God and listen to the Word. I started going there when a student of mine told me he's a choir member there. I was amazed because COP music ministry is the best christian musicians I've known, it's like I discovered someone who's actually a part of it. I've been wanting to visit again but I don't how to commute going there so that student taught me how to get there.

  It's a mega church with thousands and thousands of members. I never saw that student there, it's that big. They have a hundred voice choir. I was an anonymous worshipper. Nobody knew my name, nobody knew who I was except God. For some reason, I'm enjoying the anonymity. I once signed the attendance sheet and provided my name and phone number and after a month of not attending, I was surprise a pastora called me up and was asking how i was doing. I informed her i stopped attending because of school then informed her that I attend a church nearby. So now I decided not to sign the attendance sheet anymore whenever I attend. I wish to keep my anonymity.

  So what keeps me going there? Isn't it the purpose of church is fellowship?

  I've been desperately searching for God's presence. I love singing praises to Him, worshiping Him, listening to the music made to glorify and exalt Him. I go there not because I'm longing for a fellowship of men. I desire more of God's presence. More of Him, more of Him.

  When I'm there, I just strongly feel God's Holy presence. I feel home in that place, it's so welcoming. Forgive me but I don't need people to talk to me to make me feel welcome. It's just His sweet presence in that place.

  Truly, it comes with the territory.
