As a teenage girl... my desire was to be totally protected and surrounded by God. I thought that if I lived in a church it would fix that, that i would always have that sense of peace and protection like we find talked about in ps 91. To be covered by His pinions, and be secure in the shadow of His wings. But in all honesty, I had no idea how to achieve that, except to be in a church building (interesting how a young mind thinks...lol...). But I soon realized that, that was an unrealistic viewpoint.

But now that I'm older and am growing in the Lord... I have come to understand from the Holy Spirit, that this was not an unrealistic viewpoint or desire. But a very attainable place. We just need to know how to get there.

The starting point I believe is prayer. Asking The Father to show us. Then as we study and meditate upon the Word and let Him guide us to the truth.

Blessings of grace and peace be yours in abundance
