Here's something about me that is both a blessing and a curse: I like to be a part of a group. It's a blessing because it shows that I can work with anyone, that I'm willing to put myself out there. It's a curse because sometimes, I can only get what I'm looking for from said crowd.

What I mean by this is that with my being newer to the faith (again), I have a tough time getting into the presence of the Lord by myself. I tend to find excuses not to: "hey, this show is on TV" or "hey, so and so wants to play on Xbox". When I'm with a group of like minded (Christian) people, I tend to have an easier time getting into His presence. I definitely want to (and need to) work on this. That being said, I do want to find a good, close group of Christian friends who I can rely on. It does feel good to know someone has your back in prayer when times get tough.

We were made to worship Him, either alone or with a group. I know that my solo praises mean just as much to Him as praising with a group. I do hope soon to find this group of friends; it helps to have a support group. But regardless, I know Jesus will have my back, and that's all that matters.
