Welcome to my 2016 New Year’s Plans…
6. Attend a church service every Sunday that I am physically able to.
One thing I have missed for several years now is my Church Family. Growing up, I spent so much time at church with my family. We were there Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night and any other night that there was something going on. It was a time I got to see some of my friends from school and a time to just be me. I made friends with a ton of people at the church. After my senior year in high school, my family moved to the Moberly, Missouri area and started going to Family Life Fellowship (pictured). It was a pretty neat church and I got to spend a lot of time there (since I was attending Junior college at Moberly). I made a ton of friends and found a second family. I started getting involved with the children’s ministry, which lead to my internship at Metro Ministries.
I attended church sporadically til about the time I started working in EMS. I would work night shift, get home at 7 am after a night of being up and just crash. So no church. I started working 24 hour shifts, getting home at 7:30 am after being up half the night… I’d get home and crash. Again no church. I still work EMS so getting to church can be challenging. Hubby and I have checked out a few churches in the area, but we’ve gotten into the habit of sleeping in and spending the day together. But as if my soul knows something is missing, Sunday mornings are one of the most restless times for me. So this year, it’s time to find a church that is right and attend it as long as I am physical able to.
Know of any churches in Springfield that I should check out? Let me know…
