I've been a little quiet on my blog. I hope you're not offended. And I hope you will come back to read me again and not just forget all about me. When I started this I tried to commit to posting at least a few times a week and I've already let a week go by and nothing. We'll just say I'm not good with commitment. Ok, maybe I shouldn't put it that way. I am committed to lots of things. My husband, my daughter, my family, work, God.
Speaking of God. I had a good time with Him this morning. We've been struggling getting to church regularly. We haven't found a place that we feel completely at home with. Ok, maybe it was me that didn't find a place to feel at home with yet. We talked yesterday about trying Clarkston Community again. I don't remember if it was me or jimmy that brought it up. This morning I woke up and kind of thought maybe Jimmy would forget about it and we could be lazy and hang around the house, make breakfast, go to Home Depot, etc. (ya know, stuff that now I think about it is so unimportant). But he did bring it up. And we went. And I am so glad we did. After taking another stab at it I really really like the church. I liked the music much more than I remember liking it before. The preacher is amazing. Lucy did good in the nursery. It was just a great experience. So I am excited to make it a habit.

I'm encouraged when I hear other people's struggles that are so close to my own...does that sound bad? :o) Seriously though, Eric and I had been really hit and miss with church too and just started going again this month and we were reminded just how much we like it. The struggle of having a "lazy" Sunday will always be there I think...we just have to make church a priority. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteWe went too! What service were you at? We were at the 11 a.m. service. That new person, Heather, with the 2 boys...they were there too. I wish I would have known and I'd have introduced you.
ReplyDeleteI really like that church too. They just got a new worship leader/pastor. Maybe that's why you liked it better this time. ;^)
See you next week!?

Kari, I was going to call you to see if you were going. We went to the 9:30 service. It seems to work better with Lucy's schedule. And ya know, it's all about Lucy now (LOL). I think the difference IS the worship leader. He seemed so genuine. It's not like I disliked the last one I was just really impressed with this guy. The nursery was so nice. Everyone was very friendly and I love that there is a nursing room. Not that Lucy would want to nurse there but, you know, for future babies. Ha.
ReplyDeleteKatie, I totally know what you mean. It's not that I want other people to struggle with things that I have struggled with but it is nice to know that I'm not alone in it! It is so easy to get out of the "habit" of going. It is selfish. Being lazy, not getting out of my pajamas on sundays, etc. is so much easier. But I just feel like there is something missing. I'm so happy that we are getting back on track! I'm glad that we can encourage each other ;)
We did not attend church regularly until Maggie was 2. I did not want to leave her in the nursery and we got lazy. Now that we are back at it, it IS wonderful. I think this is pretty common. A lot of "new" parents go through this time of adjustment. Kids rock our world. Bottom line. ; )
