I just returned to church
I have just moved back to the city and church that helped me so much in the past. But I don’t feel the same “closeness” as I did before and feel let down. Can you help me?
Advice: It sounds as though you have been through a lot in the past few years and made a lot of moves and changes in your life.
It is hard to make something outside your home the centre of your life. What does your husband feels about your concern over your not being “driven” to be a part of the old church and your expectations for them to meet the needs in your life? I would be good for the two of you and the children to sit down together and talk about how they and you feel about this particular church.
It is always hard to say good-bye to things that used to be important and say hello to new challenges. It might be helpful to go for a couple of marriage counselling sessions to see how you and your spouse can meet each others needs and expectations.
Another recommendation is to read the book Boundaries by Henry Cloud. Hope this helps. Let us know.
