go to church more

God and I aren’t in touch these days.
It’s just something I need to do.
No ifs ands or buts about it.

I’m still looking for a church I like- I’ve kind of decided on one, so I have to try to go regularly. And not stay up late the night before so I can get into the habit. I want to have a church “family” of other christians.

I made a promise to myself that I would start going to church regularly. I couldn’t go previously because I usually had to work on Sundays. Now that I’ve quit my job I can start going to a church regularly again.

The church I’m trying out at the moment is called The Vine. It’s geared towards students, but people from all walks of life attend; which I’m very excited about. At churches I went to before, there’s always been a predominance of well dressed, upper-class, elder, Caucasian couples, but going to The Vine is like walking into a mall. Casually dressed people of every color, ethnicity, and social-economical status is there, and I love it.

Yes!!! My family and I made it to 5 services in a row. I love attending service with my husband. I enjoy the time together and I love praying with him. I will continue attending this year and being part of the church community.

We have been 4x in a row now!!!! 5 in a row is when I will call this goal accomplished. I am not going to stop going. I just want to continue to go more often. We were almost going to stay home this past sunday because my son had the sniffles; however, we took him and finally decided to put him in the nursery since he seemed ok. Now he is sick. He was up a couple of times through the night:( I am not giving him Tylenol cold for children (only when he has a fever), I am rubbing vicks on his chest, and using the nasal spray and sucker for his runny nose. It is Monday so I hope he feels better for next Sunday. More importantly I hope he gets better before I go into labor :)

Ok… so we went to the contada, the following week, christmas eve, and actually we went for 1/2 of another service during christmas eve because we lit the advent candles; however, I won’t count that since we did not actually attend the whole service. So if we go this Sunday and Next… I have met my goal.

I went to the contada last week. It was a basicly a service that consisted of music. My goal is to accomplish this goal (go 5 times in a row). This goal will be met at the first of the year. We are planning on going tomorrow and then of course Christmas Eve then the sunday after and I want to go the first week of the year. I would like to go every Sunday but when my son is not feeling well I can’t take him to the nursery. I am also scheduled for a C-section Jan. 19th so obviously I will have a recovery time and I will have to wait until my daughter is old enough to be subjected to the nursery.

We missed last week because my son was not feeling well :( I want to go to a new class that is starting on December 1st on the advent wreath. Childcare is provided so it will not interfere with my sons activities through the week.

Yes we went to church 2 times in a row!!! Yeah… Go us. Now we have to go 3 more times for me to feel that this goal is completed. Next week we will be going because my husband is playing bells : )

Looking back on past entries I had stated that when we go to church 5 Sundays in a row I will consider this goal accomplished. Well I don’t think I have accomplished this goal yet. We missed 2 sundays in a row (1 for mason being sick, and then another because we were so exhausted the day before because my husband was painting the new nursery room). We did go last week and I plan to go next week. We do go to church a lot it’s just that we slacked off more than we should of in the Summer : ) I really enjoy going to church with my family.
