On the Floor...

It has been told to me by those who were there that will I was in my mother's womb; my mother was on the floor of a Pentecostal church getting either saved, delivered, or reclaimed. With an entry like that, how could I possibly be anything other than a church girl?

I noticed that pattern alot. Whenever a woman was pregnant in the church, especially the Black Pentecostal Church, all of the older women (ages 50 and up) would walk by her at different times and lay their hands on the stomach of the pregnant woman. I was told that these women were praying for the baby. This doesn't happen anymore in the church world. I wonder why. Who really knows?

I am glad that whatever was happening to my mother, that while I was in her stomach; she was on the floor of a little Pentecostal Church getting some Jesus in her and in me.

I thank God that I am a Church Girl.
