Tuesday 18 November 2014 22:35 I know that it is late and that really I should go to sleep as I will regret this in the morning, but I also know that if I don’t do something soon I’m going to drive myself crazy. These past few weeks (3 to be exact) I’ve begun to feel further and further away from God, I’ve had doubts and have generally have just felt pretty miserable. I know that I’ve not exactly helped myself as I haven’t been reading my bible, I’ve deliberately isolated myself (at times opting not to go to church/worship group) and instead of running into the arms of my heavenly Father I’ve found my own fix (and yes I do mean exactly what you think I mean). Something, well I say something but I know it’s more God and Him not giving up on me, made me force myself to go to church on Sunday as I recognised that I needed to be around other Christians and to be in a place where I could focus on God. The one week when I could have done with hearing a “proper sermon” I got a “talk” about this is our vision, this is what is going to happen, this is how we’re going to try and meet the needs of all these new people who we’re trying to get in to church. WHAT ABOUT MY NEEDS. Ok so I know that is being selfish and I’ve not exactly done anything to help the matter but the real kick in the teeth so to speak was that in the “children’s slot” Mark spoke about coming to church and being encouraged by others etc. I left that service feeling worse than I did when I came in. I suppose I should have spoken to someone about how I felt instead of leaving as soon as I could at the end, but the whole thing was a shambles and I didn’t feel there was the space to talk so I went home. Right I’m going to turn in as it’s just gone 11pm and I need to be up for work tomorrow. I’ll try and finish this tomorrow sometime.
