Went to church for the 1st time in years Redhead33: I went to church for the 1st time in years today. It was so strange. I'm not a religious person. I do believe in a greater power and I say mini-prayers all of the time. I don't know where else to go or what else to do with myself so I thought that it was a viable answer. I hid in the last row in the corner and just listened and prayed. I prayed for strength and forgiveness. Forgiveness from Andy for not being the person that he thinks he needs in his life. It was hard. As I sat there I cried. At the sign of peace an older gentleman came over and sat down next to me. He shook my hand and told me that no matter what was wrong that I would get through it. It was strange...but the compasison that I felt from this complete stranger was a welcomed feeling. That was all he said and then got up and went back to his seat. I cried through the rest of the service.
This morning I was so bored and distruaght I didn't know what to do with myself. I was flipping through online personal ads and realized that this was so far from what I wanted or needed. I have/had everything that I want from Andy. It was such a dumb thing to do but it made me realize even more than I already know that Andy is my heart and soul.
Just had to get that off of my chest.

Re:Went to church for the 1st time in years WhyNow: I think that church is a great place to go to begin to heal.
This may be a calling to get God back in my life and may be for you too. I went last Sunday for the second week in a row and was "rewarded" by seeing a long time friend. Our relationship had become distant for the last 2 years or so and he was surprised but very supportive of my current circumstances. It was very uplifting to see him, his wife, and his sons. We talked for a long while after church and went out to lunch together. I left in great spirits.
I was raised to go to church every Sunday and I attended parochial grade school and college. But since I married I would only go to church on Easter and Christmas and the last few years not at all. I feel bad for my children that they did not grow up with religion in their life and I blame myself for that.
Re:Went to church for the 1st time in years jason_stl: Redhead33, it was through prayer that I found an inner peace and guidance like none I had ever known. God works in mysterious ways and no doubt he wanted to make you smile when the old man sat down next to you. I smile anymore when I pray because I can feel him. I know that even though in my younger years I may have given up on him that he never gave up on me.
WhyNow, I was the same way and it is never too late to start anew.
I usually don't preach my faith to others, but this was a story that I could relate to. Learn from the experience.
