I Went To Church Today

I went to church today. I had been thinking about going and had started looking up different options but last night a friend randomly contacted me about my husband and I going to church with her and her husband. It felt like a sign since I have been writing about it, praying about it, etc. It was a church I had been to several times before with that same friend over the last 2-3 years and I never really felt like I connected with it before but why not give it another shot? So my husband and I decided we would go.

Well 3 times wasn’t the charm. I liked the message and the basis of the church but still struggled to feel a form of connection. But you know what? That’s okay…just because some of my friends go there doesn’t mean that is where I have to go or should go. I want to find somewhere to go where I feel connected, where I can’t wait to go back, where I want to be a part of everything…and I just didn’t feel that today.

However, it did make me want to keep trying which to me is the important thing. I have spent a good portion of the day looking up other churches in the area , reading about their beliefs, and listening to some of their sermons. The bad thing is is that I am impatient, I want to find someplace that I feel like I belong now/soon so that I can get plugged in and continue to grow in my faith. But I know that all things happen in God’s timing and that I just need to keep praying about it and be patient and that eventually things will fall into place. In the meantime, if you don’t mind, pray that God leads my husband and I to where we are supposed to be and puts/keeps the right people in our lives to guide our paths. I’ll leave you with this:

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
