attend church regularly

I went to church again. I’ve decided I’m going each week and have started to. How long should I keep this on my list before I can mark it as complete? Hmmm. I think this is complete!

I made it to church again yesterday and got a lot out of the experience. It feels right!

I made it to church for the testimony meeting and was glad I went. There was a total of four people, including the reader, organist and me. That’s okay. Small, but mighty. :) It’s such a friendly, loving place to grow. I will go again this Sunday. It feels right for me to be there. I’m ready.

I went to church and am glad I did. The past two times I went to a different church than I had been going to.

I’m torn because the two churches I’ve found are about the same distance apart. One has a larger group than the other, but to be honest, I think I may feel more comfortable with the smaller group. The only factor that bothers me is they only have one Wednesday night service each month. Maybe this isn’t such a big deal. I think this Sunday I will go back to the first church and then re-evaluate.

Went to the Wednesday testimony meeting last night, despite the stormy weather outside. While the weather made it very tempting to stay home on the couch and thought,”I can go on a week when the weather is better,”, I realized exactly what that was…AN EXCUSE! There will always be an excuse if I allow them to dictate. As one of the gentlemen at church mentioned, too…so many times when we hear that “still, small voice” telling us to do something good, immediately there will be another “voice” giving reasons why it’s not such a good idea. Usually that’s justification that we probably SHOULD follow through with that initial thought.

I’m putting church services and meetings on my calendar to MAKE time for them. This is important to me and I’m realizing more and more just how important. This is a good balance, and I’m going to make attending more of a priority.

A question I keep considering is: How would I feel if I COULDN’T go?

I am sure looking forward to Sunday.

Missed on Sunday. :(

I attended church service on Sunday and last night went to the testimony meeting. Yesterday was a really rough day at work, I wound up staying late and didn’t think I would make it. Then I realized I was allowing work to become an excuse. And of all days, this was one where I needed inspiration the most! Immediately I was able to find a comfortable stopping point, pack up, head home, let my dog out, eat a quick dinner and make it to church in time.

It felt so good to consciously make my relationship and growth with God a priority. Honestly, when the light in my head finally turned on, it seemed like everything just lined up for me to be exactly where I needed when I needed. Funny how that works.

I have found it hard to find a church that I like in my area. All the churches are so big and I am small church person. Went to a small church growing up and that is the atmosphere I like. I want church to be about God. I get the feeling that the larger the church the less you feel God’s presence. It seems to be about money and image. Not my cup of tea.
