I believe if you want a happy life.
You dont need to go church.But you need to have relationship with God.
I did go church for 4 years.
2017 I lost both my parents and my brother in same year.
First my brother died.He was train driver.Payed of mortgage on his home.Had 2 cars and motorcycle.Went on atleast 2 holidays a year.To me he had perfect life.But one day he took himself to hotel.He committed suicide.
I hadn't seen my father for about 5 years.So i went share news with him.To find out he died 2 months earlier with cancer.
Then December 2017.Was when i lost my mum.
She had dementia. She went out with her husband.He lost her.She was missing for 12 hours.Until camera's pick her up sitting on chair on train platform about 1am.She got up,walked down platform onto the tracks.Then unfortunately she was killed by train.
I got approached on street by people from church. They invited me to attend. I went for 4 years before I left.
Since then my relationship with God.
And my life journey changed.
