The first one sounds like my church... although there are a lot of seniors, they are young in spirit and have blessed me with so much amazing discipleship over the past year and a half (when I joined).. I feel like I'm cheating because it's so good, but that is how the Lord has blessed me. Being around this "type" of church has matured me and prepared me for the true battles (not the political ones) that we as believers face. My focus has been able to be solely on my sanctification and obedience to the Lord, while being encouraged and edified by the elders.

I came from the seeker friendly type and had a lot of Jonathan's and Timothy's, but never any Paul's in my life. Now I'm surrounded by Paul's who are helping get me ready again to have the Timothy's in my life and ministry.. With this time being a lot more fruitful.

Thank You again, Jesus.. and thank You for a place where I can proclaim openly for what You've done and continue to do with me.
