At some point, it may come. I admit, for now, I am often still mad albeit for different reasons. It seemed my life went to hell in a hand basket when I went back to the church last time (and you know what I'm talking about with the prior relationship). I haven't gotten over that hump yet. I am sure it is just an association that I am finding coincidental and really don't believe it was causal. Still, the bitter taste is there for now.<br><br>For you, I am happy!C's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10062655703410223668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697426940966738029.post-75783516933979861292008-11-10T18:18:00.000-05:002008-11-10T18:18:00.000-05:00Lecture you?

It took me a long time to work through it and I went back because of my husband, then boyfriend. I am nowhere near perfect in my faith, but I do find peace in going to church......I am glad you have found yours!<br><br>LisaHalf Gaelic, Half Garlic!http://www.blogger.com/profile/17227046808604837073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697426940966738029.post-56579405101185717162008-11-10T19:12:00.000-05:002008-11-10T19:12:00.000-05:00As someone who is still very angry and nowhere nea...As someone who is still very angry and nowhere near allowing a space for this, I appreciate your honesty and this post gives me hope that I may somehow come to feel this way too.<br>Last year, I prayed that my miscarriage wouldn't ruin my relationship with God.

When I went through a divorce I felt like I needed to go back - I'm not sure why other than I felt lost and thought that church would help me find some answers.<br><br>I've been attending a non-demoninational christian church for 8 years now!

(not you!) but I've been REALLY mad, for a while now (it peaked last week, into a yelling rampage!!) but I don't get mad at God!!! I kinda figure nothing is His fault?!

Honestly, being slapped with our infertility and the loss of our little embryos caused the deepest crisis of faith we have ever had to weather in our almost two decades of marriage.<br><br>I think a lot of us have been there with you...angry with God even though being angry with Him goes against all we have ever believed. <br><br>It takes a lot of courage to look into your own heart. Healing takes time. Some day, you will have your baby in your arms and the razor edged pain that once filled your heart will soften and fade.<br><br>That wasn't a lecture, was it? I sure hope not. ....it's just that having been there with my own heart shredded and raw, I want to encourage you...to tell you that it won't always hurt like it does now...Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03291951836690104138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697426940966738029.post-92029833542022743192008-11-12T00:21:00.000-05:002008-11-12T00:21:00.000-05:00I love this post Stacy, so honest and true.

It's a long, tough road you've been traveling and with the light at the end of the tunnel being dim for so long it makes sense that we want to find 'someone' to blame. <br><br>So glad you're feeling better and starting to go back to church. There are Sunday's when I sometimes have to push myself a little harder to go to church too but minutes into the worship service begins I'm glad I'm there. <br><br>Love you friend!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06120007274654255204noreply@blogger.com
