I also agree with you about some groups in some churches. I have a teenager and we have run across this in some Youth groups as well. They can turn into just a bunch of cliques and our youth have enough of that at school and everywhere else. They shouldn't have to deal with that at church!<BR/><BR/>MichelleMichelle Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646258316409073003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007480593618286578.post-62770164449133163682008-05-18T19:41:00.000-07:002008-05-18T19:41:00.000-07:00Hi.

(I've been on both sides and I know God has used my hurts to point out to me that I have done the same to others.) My husband and I were blessed to join our church a few months ago, but I fought it for two years. I was disgruntled with "church" and really wanted to be free from what I saw to be only games. But I thank Him for putting us where we are - we have been so blessed. I hope you find a place to grow and serve, too. I know that you don't have to be in "four walls" to grow and serve, but I pray you will come to a Christ-like assembly for your own edification and who knows - YOU could be a person God uses to bridge gaps in an assembly where cliques are a problem! Who better than someone who sees it and has been there? =)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428773334848494136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007480593618286578.post-49249316584272344122008-05-18T13:28:00.000-07:002008-05-18T13:28:00.000-07:00dang girl! no, just kidding....i know exactly wha...dang girl! no, just kidding....i know exactly what you mean and how you feel. i think that's why we "clique"...ha, ha...get it?

You are teaching her well.<BR/><BR/>I pray one day you find a church, but admire your desire to wait on God's leading. Far too many people join a church because it is close or convenient, caring nothing about what kind of church it is. <BR/><BR/>You are a wise young woman. I enjoyed visiting your blog.<BR/><BR/>In Him,<BR/>NancyAbout Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459135904808824136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007480593618286578.post-21104987660116672322008-05-16T05:28:00.000-07:002008-05-16T05:28:00.000-07:00Wow, Lori!

I feel very fortunate that I found mine! But as you said, it's just 4 walls - you can praise God everyday wherever you are. But, nothing can beat a good church each Sunday and other days as well. Visit all the churches in the area. We chose our church primarily due to the great youth program they had. Little did we know that we would end up loving it too.Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406900334521773162noreply@blogger.com
