Okay so the past several weeks I have been dreading Sundays. I love going to church. I love my church family.I love all the family members that we are at church with. I love that my children get to sit with their cousins on Sunday mornings which helps keep their bond strong. But, lately I have been dreading Sunday mornings because I am tired of going to church. I am going to try my best to explain this so that everyone can understand it and it does not sound completely horrible. I have been feeling like when I am getting up on Sunday mornings to go to church I am just going through the motions. I feel like when we are singing the songs at church that the closeness with God is slipping away. I stand and sing but I am not really feeling the words. Has anyone else ever gone through this? I feel like when I am there my mind is shifting to other places. Is it Satan working against me or am I just doing something wrong? I feel like lately I am losing my bond and closeness that I have always had. When I talked to T about it he just said that he did not know what was going on but that he does not feel the same way that I have been. I feel like lately I am just going through the motions because that is what I am suppose to be doing. I teach Sunday School. I love teaching Sunday School but I feel like if I try to say that I don't want to do it anymore that I am being looked at like something is wrong with my. Like that is my duty since I signed for it a few years ago. I feel like I am losing my place at the church. I felt like I use to have a closeness with God when I was there. Now, I just feel like I am there and I am no longer needed in the areas that I use to be involved in. I hope this is making some sense as I am just trying to work through my feelings. Don't get me wrong I love my church and I love going to worship. So, my question is when you are getting into a funk where you just feel like you are going through the motions how do you find your way out? I can tell that I have started to withdrawl myself from things going on at church and it makes me sick that my children are seeing me do this. I was dreading going to church last week and L came into my room and said mommy arent you so excited that we are going to church so we can read our Bible, and hear about Jesus? It was like a punch in the gut. Why am I not that excited about going to church? I hope that I have explained this well enough for it to be understood while I am venting to try and get some sort of a better understanding of what is going on.
