Church Dilema

[couture_girl88]

Hey guys,

I've been doing well, more or less. I'm REALLY nervous about my church life though. I don't know whether I should stick by my old church and make myself an agent of change or move on to a different church and find my own spiritual needs. If anybody has any advice, call me because I'm very sad and very lost.

Analee...you need to understand that it's your choice to believe what you want to believe. for example i used to be catholic, and i still am...i'm just not as religious because i disagree with some of it. you need to decide for yourself what you believe in...and sometimes that can be the hardest part. If you need any help, you know that i am here for you. ♥

Niki,

I kind of did a major typo in that post that I'm planning on fixing... I meant to say OR seek my own spiritual needs, not and. I'm not questioning Christianity, just my church. It's going through some major transitions in leadership and in the youth program... most of my friends have already left. I sit alone at the functions (or with my friend CP, the only close friend left who goes regularly), and I feel like i'm drinking from a well of spirituality that's empty. They know things need to change, they've known that for a while. They're trying but they're just running around in circles. I just don't know whether I'm taking the easy way out by moving to a church with a stronger backbone. Isn't it kind of like deserting a sick friend or something? It seems morally wrong in some odd way.

I say stick to your own spiritual needs. If you don't know what they are yet, you'll figure 'em out one day, but right now just go where your heart tells you to go. Do what you believe will make you happy.

Hope that helped a little :-)
