We have not been very regular with attending church lately. It has been a frustrating and overwhelming search for us to find a new church home since we moved. We were on vacation on Easter, and then sick the next week, so this past Sunday was the first chance I have gotten to get the kids dressed up in spring dresses to go to church, and we actually got ready with time to spare, so we ran outside real quick to take a picture. As we were out there, my neighbor (that is Jewish) asked if it were Easter, and I thought a minute, and then said, well, yes for us, it is! So Rachel was all ready for the picture until I said for everyone to put there arms around each other, and then you see the result. Finally after a lot of coaxing, I convinced her to get back in the picture for one.
We were excited when we arrived at the new church we were trying out, b/c coming out of the earlier service was Clay's cousin and wife. We didn't realize they attended there, they used to go to church with us in Monticello before they moved. So, I thought, well, that is a sign that this will be the one, but I am not sure. It was huge, nobody spoke to us, and they had a guest speaker that we didn't care for. So.....I don't know. We have both been praying as we are both ready after living here for 7 months to have a church and attend regularly. It really makes me miss our church in Monticello. I had been so ready for a change, find one with a lot of people our age, but now I really miss the comfort of knowing everyone and them feeling like our family.
Have you thought about talking to Jamie and seeing which church she goes to?I know she regularly attends one up there but dont know which one it is...LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd they look just adorable!
ReplyDeleteYes, the church we were going to at first was the one that Jamie is going to now...we saw her there the last time we visited, and that was nice to see her there. The kids really liked it, and it is very close to our house, but there is something about it, we just didn't feel like we fit in there. We have talked about giving it another chance, it is just hard b/c we are both shy, and we are tired of a million questions about who we are and where we work! LOL I wish I could be as outgoing as Jamie! Thanks for the advice!
ReplyDeleteOh okay,I know your frustration with the church thing...we have been to several and plan on attending another soon.Hopefully we will find a church home soon.Have you ever noticed that it feels blasphemous to even think about not liking a specific church?
