The first step

On Sunday, I attended AME Zion church. During the service, I was so focused on observing and participating and narrating in my mind that I wasn't feeling it. I forgot to ground-and-center before the services started, and I'm out of practice. But I have been feeling the effects.

First, it was just a lovely way to start a Sunday. I proceeded to have a nice, relaxing day with my family. I felt rejuvenated.

The next day, when I recalled the hymn we sang, it somehow sunk in...how the messages of the main prayer were so relevant to me. And I have been resonating since.

We've come this far by faith
Leaning on the Lord
Trusting in His Holy word
He never failed me yet
Oh' Can't Turn Around
We've come this far by faith

(Repeat)

Verse
Just the other day, I heard a man say
He did not believe in God's word
But I can truly say, the Lord has made a way
He's never failed me yet

Chorus
Oh' Can't Turn Around
We've come this far by faith
