Church

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to go to church. The last 3 months or so there have been maybe three or four Sundays that I have been able to go to church and stay all 3 hours. Maybe half of the rest of the time I haven't been able to go at all either from bed rest, or massive headache, or some other lame thing. It definitely has made me realize how much I miss church when I'm not there, and how much I take it for granted when I can go every week. I feel like I miss so much when I can't be at church. I miss being able to take the Sacrament and renew those sacred covenants. I miss the building of relationships and friendships with the people in the ward. I miss being able to strengthen my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I miss those opportunities to share and discuss in lessons and to learn from the teachers. I can't wait until we have made it to the next step (Tucker being born) and we can get back into a routine of going to church and being more active again. I am so grateful that I have a strong testimony that can carry me through those Sundays when I can only make it Sacrament, or to no church at all.

Once Tucker is here, you might be able to go to church but don't expect to get much out of it for a while. ;) I spent today out in the hall because Bella wouldn't stop screaming. So much fun...
