Jeremy,
    I think you should go visit that church and just see how it goes and
continue praying about you.  God will show you where you need to be.

> Myself and Jen have been looking for a new church since we got married.
> I am also eager to hear what the list thinks of this experience, when
> this happened, I will admit I had goose bumps on the spot.
> Like I stated above we are looking for a new church to attend.  I have
> been praying about this for some time.  We both agreed that we would

> done some research on the net for those kinds of church in and around

> I came up with 3 such churches.  Bethel Assembly of GOD, New Hope, and
> Taylor Assembly of GOD.  We had agreed to try each one for a month pray
> about each one then go back to the church we both thought was the best.
> Ok, in the mean time we had to do some shopping this last Wednesday,
> now, here is where things get interesting.  Since both myself and my

> talking about how we met our spouses, he stated that he met his in

> Assembly of GOD... folks, the exact church that was on our list to
> attend and the very church we said we would try first starting this up
> and coming Sunday.  I told him this, at this point the goose bumps
> started... a few minutes later, he offered to pick me and my wife up for
> church this Sunday.  My wife also stated between her and I that she
> would like to find a small church, one that we can get to know the
> people of whom we would be worshiping GOD with.  Again, I asked the
> question, About how many people attend your church?  He said roughly 100
> people of witch a lot of people are very newly weds like ourselves.  He
> also stated that the pastor there was good, and that the pastor asks
> everyone to pray for 5 minutes
>  Every day about something, and that something the pastor would say at
> the start of every week... this week just so happened to be about the
> economy.  Folks here I am, having loads of all these thoughts in my
> head, and this church being the one that was on our first list to attend
> this Sunday? Wow.  I am sorry for rambling like this, and swear I will
> try not to do it again... but here is the thing... I felt like I was
> burned on my last church, I don't want to get burned again...  My
> request is this... to help myself and Jenifer to make the right choice
> of what church to attend... what happened this past week would lead me
> to believe that GOD is in control and would like us to attend this
> bethel assembly of GOD church, but you know how the DEVIL is, he could
> think that he would not like myself and Jenifer to start growing in GOD
> and throw this in our path, a church that would have no good teaching,
> or what ever, and make it look like this is all GODS doing, I also don't
> want to second guess GODS doing either.  I have been praying that what
> happened was truly the work of GOD, and not something playing with my

> Thanks so much for any prayers, and again sorry for rambling.
