She slipped quietly into the back pew after the service started. The congregation’s song washed over her, calming her slightly, as she looked around the modest sanctuary through the veil of her hair.
The song came to an end and the worship leader told the congregation to shake hands with everyone around them. Suppressing a surge of panic, she hurried out the doors and went into the restroom she had seen as she walked in the church foyer. She stayed there until she heard the music start again.Tuesday, December 9, 2008

Be blessed dear.
Thank you for a powerfully written, thought provoking story. Merry Christmas!
I just sat there after reading and said"wow" and just sat there thinking.....
Thank- You for writing!!
Thank you so much for this post. Although I try very hard not to hinder the Spirit,I found myself just sitting there wondering how many times I had kept someone from being obedient.
Blessings....
I really enjoyed this post. It spoke to me in a fresh way. Thank you for your powerful story...one I'm embarrassed to say I have probably been a part of (and not in a good way!)
This is beautiful. As a pastor's wife I often have wondered about the "distractions" people unthinkingly make that become obstacles to others. Thank you for helping us all to "think".
That is awesome!
