As it would seem to always be, I find myself here on another Sunday. I just posted what I had written a number of weeks ago, but had failed to post.
This journey is hard, I'm pretty sure anyone that is has or was struggling with any addiction knows that, and their loves ones know it too, at least they should(me and my run on sentences). Church was great today. Sometimes I forget that. These last two weeks for example I failed to go to church and to enjoy the spirit there. Sometimes I attempt to convince myself that I just don't need to be there enough. Or that no one will notice. Or that it's not the most effective use of my time. More often though, I passive aggressively try to sleep through the first hour of church and decide that It's already too late, might as well not go. I did that the last two weeks. Luckily for me the Lord reminds me every time I go to church that that is where I need to be. Being at church allows me to feel the spirit. It helps me to draw closer to him, and provides a safe place from the attacks of the adversary. I rarely feel tempted at church, as long as I came to church ready to be there. Of course that is not to say it doesn't happen, but my mindset and the attitudes of the people around me really help me to feel the spirit.
Church is great and yeah, I love it, and I need to not forget that. Focus on the positive.
