Perception vs Truth

I am so pumped to be able to report that many of the things I wrote about on Tuesday regarding Sunday were not as they seemed to be!!!
Unfortunately, this came at the expense of Mama and Papa's phones ringing non-stop since some have read the latest entry. I am sorry Billy and Judy. The things that I was bothered by on Sunday all had an explanation and I've learned to address those involved as soon as these things happen. Billy is such a man of integrity and I am so glad to see him leading this church! He is the only man suitable for this role in my opinion. I can't even count on my fingers how many times we have prayed for the individual members of this new church as well as the overseer and the bishop(s). Judy is definitely one of the most hospitable women I have ever had the privilege to meet. In no way was the earlier post meant to attack this beautiful family and I'm sorry if I have caused any harm or damage. Perfect love drives out all fear and I am writing these words in LOVE. (A common, fundamental theme of late!)
The young man who came in to our service on Sunday is a local boy. Slightly troubled and I have since learned- has been helped out on numerous occasions in a variety of ways by my beloved family in Kenya. And to top things off- he did receive a meal after the service. 2nd helpings-in fact! This is despite his unpredictable behaviors which includes violence. There is not greater love to be shown than a self-less love. And this is truly what this young man has been shown from mama and papa.
Also the guest speaker was a man from near-by Majengo...not Kisumu. And he did still talk about one body...many parts! Which is such a important message for all of us to hear. Even if its over and over again.
Lord, Forgive me for my eagerness to jump to conclusions. May the Shalom Family Worship Center truly be a place of peace where families can gather together in spirit and in truth to lift your name on high.
