Hixon- Church

As a child growing, going to church every Sunday was mandatory for my family according to my mom. My sisters and I would hate waking up early, getting dressed in our Sunday's best, and sitting for hours. We would always dose off during the service and my mom would nudge us giving that "your in trouble" glare. It was not until I got into high school that my mom did not make church mandatory, it was our choice whether we decided to go or not. So of course I loved sleeping in which resulted in me rarely going to church. However, I realized that every time I miss church for a long period of time, the next time I went I felt as if the sermon being preached was directed specifically toward me. This would baffle me. Now I go to church on a consistent basis, but every now and then I miss a Sunday or two and know the message next Sunday will speak to me specifically. Through this I've learned that Jesus has a weird was of communicating with me.
