I'm put to help with the children in the 1st service, but lately I have been missing it(not intentionally). The church has an email thing where you're supposed to say if you're going to be there or not, but I haven't done it( cause I haven't been missing intentionally) and last time they got angry because I didn't fill it out soon enough. Now it's been 2-3 weeks. For example, yesterday, I got ready before I went to sleep, put on my jewelry and even my pants, set up my alarm clock and everything I could do, but woke up in my brother's bedroom after noon not even remembering how I got there. I wanted to go really bad, and apologize for missing (ironic..). It's all my fault, but does anybody have any advice? The church is an hour away since we moved, and I'm thinking about relocating. Help, I'm confused?
Do you REALLY want an honest answer to your problem??? Or do you want the watered down sugar coated version to it?
Because the bottom line in serving the Lord wether it be in the nursery at the church or doing w/e in the church or for the community is YOUR OWN SELF DISCIPLINE!!!!!!!!!
To be honest, even though you say that your making the effort, it still sounds as if your leaving yourself a back door out and not even covering that door by missing a post on the churches website by letting them know that you will be unable to do it and or even give a why.
Either your FULLY SURRENDERED to the Lord, or your just playing Christian for brownie points.
Sorry if this seems harsh. But you asked for a answer.
You are either fully into to serving God and loving God with all your heart/soul, mind, body, life......
Or your just going through the motions; and relocating to another church isn't going to be the answer if thats the situation.
I'll be honest here myself. You really havent presented the whole story; So I have no actual idea of the circumstances surrounding why you would fall asleep in your own room half clothed and wake in your brothers room with no idea as to how you wound up there, but it sounds as if you sleep walk and you would need to see your family doctor about that.
But the part about your service to God, to the church, and to the children that depend on seeing your smiling face.
That is just a self control - self discipline problem like making yourself wake up early to go to school and too study what is taught. If your heart and your mind isn't into doing it, then you would be having the same problems going to school and learning any subjects taught wether it's, and only guessing here: High School, or even College courses.
That self discipline problem is something that you will have to go to the Lord in prayer about and to make a concious effort to overcome it with the Lord's help.
Your brother in the Lord,
Coop.
