long but worth the read
Last night we had
a lock-in at my church and my friends and I played Sardines.
I hid first and I hid in the sanctuary. Let me tell
you that I am PETRIFIED of the dark. I get so scared that
I have to have a dim light in my room at night. the
sactuary at night was pitch black, with the exception of some
dim moonlight coming from a few stained glass windows. I
stood there for a few minutes at the back of the room, scared
and not knowing whether to change my hiding place or not.
However, after a few minutes, as scared as I was, I felt
safe. The only explinatin for this is that God was there
with me, assuring me that there was nothing to be afraid of.
I know some people will disregard me as crazy, but
dispite me always believing in God and knowing in my heart that
He was real and true, I had never had a exprience like this
before. I could actually FEEL Him this time. He was with
me, as silly as it may seem. He would keep me safe from
my fears.
God will keep us safe from our fears
