Born Again?

FYI, this is going to be more of a serious post...

The fiance and I went to church today for the first time in a long time (we're talking years). We kept saying we would go to church, but we kept talking about it instead of actually doing it. Well, today was finally the day that we actually went, and it was amazing.

Let me first start by explaining my religious experiences growing up. As a girl, my parents would "force" me to go to church every Sunday against my will, and I hated going. I felt like it was a chore and not what I wanted to do. I didn't really take going to church seriously and just saw it as a place to hang out with friends.

But just recently, I realized I was missing something in my life. It didn't feel complete and like something was missing. I didn't feel completely fulfilled, and I realized that it was because I did not have a relationship with God, and I really needed to have one. My fiance has a closer relationship to God than I do, but neither of us are anywhere near where we want to be. And we feel like if we have that spiritual connection it will bring us even closer to each other too.

Even after going to church just one time already made me feel more fulfilled, and as crazy as it may seem, I could really feel God's love and could feel his presence while I was there. It felt so REAL! The sermon was inspiring, and I was just touched by everything. I think it was different this time because I wanted to go to church on my own terms and really seek God and start a relationship with him.

My fiance and I agreed that we would continue to go to church every Sunday and maintain a relationship with God together. I'm excited for this journey ahead, and I can't wait to grow closer to him...

Thanks for reading my rambling ;)
