Going Back.... it's been so long

After almost a year of being away and out of the loop, Braden and I went back to church yesterday. There were many reasons why we got out of the habit of going to church... but the main reason was T.... and MOPS - okay, that's two main reasons.

Tristan doesn't do well with the nursery and it was too hard on him having 2 back to back no morning nap, scream the whole time days. I didn't have an option of NOT going to MOPS so church got the boot.

For a while after Mason got back we tried to get all four of us out the door, which proved difficult. Once you get out of the habit of something it sometimes is hard to get back in the swing of things. So now Mason has agreed to stay at home with T which leaves me and Braden free to go back to church!

I am SO glad that I did. From the sermon to the new class that I went to I felt like I was being spoken to directly. It re-energized me and got me excited about church and God again. I tried to silence my little voice in the back of my head which deconstructs and analyzes everything and just let the word wash over me. - Which is hard. I feel like I disagree with so much that is said by other people that I feel like I don't belong. But last Sunday in the new class I heard voices like mine and it made me feel at home...
