My conversations with God!

My Conversations with God.

I married a man who was very cynical about Christianity having been force fed Charismatic Religion by his ex wife.  So when I announced to him one day that I have been having conversations with God for all of my life, he was exceptionally cynical.

One day when we had been married a few years, we were on holiday at our shack situated on a beautiful stretch of beach.  I was walking on the beach on my own and having a conversation with God.

As I walked along and chatted to God, God told me the following:  "When you get back from your holiday I want you and your husband to join a Church."

"Which Church Father"  I asked.  He replied " The Church that is the furthest from you that attend sometimes.  There is a new Pastor there and he will ask visitors to join the Church and I want you and your husband and your children to join."  "Right" I said.  Then God said " The new Pastor will offer a Christian course and I want you both to sign up and do it"  "Right" I said.

I went back to the shack and told my husband.  He looked at me as if I had gone a bit dilly.  But he didn't say yes or no.  Just looked at me long and hard.

When we got back from our holiday on the first Sunday of the year, my husband, now wanting to prove that my conversations with God were a figment of my imagination said.  "Lets go to that Church then".  I said fine and we set off with our two children.  

As soon as we got into the Church the elder of the Church announced that today was the first day a new Pastor would be preaching as the old Pastor had been moved to a new city.  I smiled at my husband.  No way I could have known that!

Then the new Pastor entered the pulpit and announced that he was new to the congregation, he was inviting visitors to join the Church and would we complete the forms in the pew pockets.  I smiled at my husband who by now was a little sheepish looking. 

He still looked a bit smug though as no mention was made about a course.

Then as the sermon came to an end and we were all about to leave the Church the Pastor announced a course that was being offered to the whole congregation and any new members who wished to join the Church.  The Alpha Course.  I grinned like a Cheshire cat.

My husband and I joined the Church and did the course.... twice.  My husband is now a devout Christian and in another page on another day I will ask him to write his testimony down for you.
