WARNING: Issa long story lol Growing up, I went to church faithfully. On the youth ministry, attending conferences with my grandmother, vacation Bible school every summer when I visited my grandparents, all the things. Then I grew up, went off to college, and life started to happen… I grew angry, bitter, and broken. Truthfully, I thought God had forgotten about me. One night in 2020, during my many cries in the shower, I told God I would surrender to Him and give Him my pain + brokenness, if He would just please heal me. Because I didn’t know what else to do… That’s when I heard God say “It’s time to come back home.” I later had a conversation with my grandmother & she shared with me that her only wish in life is that her children, grandchildren and their children would not only know God but have a true relationship with Him. Because in her words: You can get through ANY and everything with God by your side! Since then, I made the decision to build my relationship with God again. And I prayed to find a church that would remind me of home. I visited a few churches here & there, but it didn’t quite feel like home. Well fast forward a few years later, my husband and I moved and I’d pass this church everyday on my way home. I told my grandmother about it, and every time I’d pass it I was reminded “It’s time to come back home.” One Sunday, I finally visited and I instantly got chills when I walked inside. The warm welcome from the greeters, the way the other kids & church members loved on my Amani, it felt like a Family. It felt like home. 🤎 My grandparents visited us this weekend, and my grandmother said she wanted to go to church with me. And my heart beamed with happiness. The chance to be able to worship with my grandmother again and be living in her answered prayers. I thank God for my grandma who has always been anchored in a prayer life. Who still prayed for me daily, even when I couldn’t pray for myself. Thank you grandmommy for helping me come back Home. This grandparents day hit differently, yall. Whew. And I’m so so thankful. 🥹 #grandparentsday #prayinggrandmother #prayerwarrior #churchservice #womenofgod #womenoffaith #grandmashands
