I got to go to church today. Just go. Not lead, not be in charge, not be worried about all the details. I got to just be, listen, attend. I went to the Presbyterian Church in town, I was in the mood to try something different. The sanctuary was beautiful, and while the details of the service were a little different than I am used to, it was mostly familiar.
I cried several times through the service. Not because it was particularly poignant or moving, but because it was so wonderful to simply be in church again. To worship without a second thought to what people were thinking or how things were going or are the microphones working still? It's been a long time since I've been able to just be.
I'm looking forward to more Sundays like this.
XOXO, Bethany
