Taking A Step Back

Standard

Sigh……Sadly I am taking a step back from church. A beloved pastor has left the church suddenly. Along with her went her extended family (1 family made up more than 1/2 of our praise band) It was all explained to us why she left (budget reasons) and I understand it. But the suddenness of it has thrown me. I don’t know how to explain my feelings other than saying I need to step away from the situation so I can get a handle on my feelings. On top of this pastor leaving I have been struggling with hubby not wanting to go to church. I’ve also had an antifreeze leak in my van as well as a flat tire. Goober needs new sneakers as well as wrestling sneakers and a few pairs of exercise clothes for wrestling practice. Things just seem to be piling up and Christmas is right around the corner. Money was very tight this last week and I had to miss my MOPS meeting because I didn’t have enough gas to get there and back and still be able to pick Chip up from school and Goober up from wrestling practice. This left me feeling very isolated and disconnected. So with all of this going on I am taking a step back from attending church. Maybe after the holidays things will settle down? Yeah right 😆
