it's not grieving, but it's still got steps . . .

confession: i haven't been to my home church in a long time. part of it has been my being away (at camp or in toronto), part of it is that i can't get a ride anymore, part of it is that my closest friends are no longer there.

this article talks about other reasons that people leave good churches. those steps didn't apply to me entirely, but i saw glimpses of myself in some of them, for sure.

it's a tough thing, figuring out where God wants you. sometimes, something doesn't have to broke(n) for you to wonder if there's a need for fixing. you know?

actually - much as i love peter and amanda - they aren't the "closest friends" i was referring to. it's laura and amanda m. for whom i am grieving. but i'm trying to cope. sigh.
