I'm doing 29 things
Went to church again this morning! I got there late, as planned, and got my hot chocolate, then I saw my friend Kara! She had been to that church before, but not for awhile. I’m really glad she was there this morning because I really needed to be sitting by a friend. The pastor talked about how people had been hurt by the church, how we should reach out to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and how important corporate worship is. Well…those are of the things I have been talking to him about when explaining why I just didn’t want to go to church and I didn’t feel comfortable there. I’m sure other people had said similar things to him, but I felt like he was saying those things for my benefit and it brought tears to my eyes. You know that feeling when you realize you haven’t been breathing and your chest is really tight and you’re clinching your Bible and there are tears in your eyes? Yeah, that was my morning!!

I didn’t go to church this morning because I went home for the weekend (to celebrate family birthdays) and they don’t go to church and I had no clue where to go. So I didn’t go. Poo.

I finally gave in and called Laura. She is one of my closest friends. We were roommates for a year and a half and then she told me she was moving out and I was hurt so badly. I’ve been holding on to this anger for over 5 weeks and I just couldn’t continue with it making me feel so miserable all the time. I had spent very little time with her since she moved out but when I left, I would go home and cry. So I had to talk to her. And now I feel better, happier. YAY!
