50 year old Pentecostal and Non-Denominational Lady

Hello.
This may seem strange to some, but as the title to this thread says, I attend a non-Denominational Church on Sundays, and on Thursday evenings, I attend a Jesus Name Pentecostal Church.
This is simply because what I don't get from one church, I receive from another. For instance, the non-Denominational Church has a wide variety of ministries to choose from, and they really do reach out to the community, but just as importantly, they have a message of walking with God in today's modern world. This is a very compassionate church, and I'm in love with what it stands for. This is so crucial to the days that we're living in.
On the flip-side, I absolutely love and crave the way the Pentecostal church worships. I love praising Jesus in song, dance, laughter, and in love with this Church family. I love the old-time, hell-fire preaching, and as important as compassion is, it's also important to learn what will keep us out of Heaven. There is no sugar-coating the truth, and that makes me feel safe in knowing that someone loves me enough to tell me that sin ain't right.
Both churches are full of love, great fellowship, and I love all of my siblings.
As for ministry, the Lord is guiding me in His direction, and has put a few things on my heart, the biggest one is the community's needs. Shut-ins, the homeless, helping hands, and the hungry. There is something brewing in my God-heart right now, and I intend to follow it through. It's all in the research stage right now, but I envision that it is not going to be any small thing for His Kingdom.
I am content in my Father's arms, but times do get a tad lonely for a companion. It would be nice to once in awhile be able to say "Hey, let's go on a road trip," and then just get in the vehicle and drive. To have someone to talk to, confide in, share with, dream together, and support each other's goals.
I trust my Father so much...and I know that He is always on time. In His time and in His will.
Thank you for surviving this long intro... :waving:
