I'd like to start by saying, I don't attend this church, nor will I ever.
Yesterday, I parked in the church parking lot, away from the 2 other cars in the lot, to look at directions on my phone.
An elderly woman, in miss matched nightgown, pj pants, slippers, and coat, came to my car window. If I had been in Austin, I would've suspected her to be homeless. Not that I care about people going out in pj's... Be comfy, I get it!
I didn't hear/notice her at first, so I was a little bewildered when I heard a faint voice.
I am a woman with PTSD from a long life of trauma. I have learned to only crack my window when anyone approaches my car, and to keep the doors locked at all times. Yet, thru the cracked window I asked if I could help her.
She asked if I was with the church, but then almost immediately said "no, you can't, you can't". More than a little confused, I said, "I'm sorry, I can't what"?
Her statement was as if I there was no way I could be with her church, or even be a child of God. She ignored my question, and as she walked away, she turned back disgustedly, saying "I'm not gonna reach in and grab your throat", shaking her head and muttering as she continued away from my car. Obviously she was offended at my cracked window.
As she went to her car, I immediately prayed to God that he open her eyes, to show her kindness, and cast the devil from within her, to allow her to be freed from the devil's works I had just experienced.
So I'm writing this review, because, I felt assaulted at this church. All of my trauma and fear came back to me all at once. Only the devil could know that someone attempted to murder me once, by strangulation.
Dear Lord, I pray that this church family comes together to find, and spread the Love and Light of God, for ALL people. Amen.
