overwhelmed
i went to church today, for the first time in probably 6 years. it was overwhelming to say the least. i'm trying to get back into things, but today felt like a little too much. i met so many people which was amazing, they were all sooo nice. but i feel like i have so much to live up to now. i don't want to feel pressured to go to all the young adult things and relief society events. but i already do. i'm barely getting the hang of meeting with the missionaries, let alone going to church. then i'm feeling pushed to do all the things already. i don't think i'm ready yet. i'm trying to take this slow, so i can feel comfortable. i don't want so much shoved in my face that i turn and run again. i feel like i'm already feeling the need to tell everyone to chill out, i'll work up to it. its like come do this and that, and i have no desire to yet. church is enough for me now to take in and deal with let alone all the other things outside of church. i dont want to feel shoved or obligated into having to go. when i'm comfortable maybe i'll go but i can't promise anything. they kinda make me feel like i need to jump right in, when i know i'm ready yet. i'm just kinda confused i don't want to run. i think i just need to call my grandma and have a chat about things about what i should expect and what they expect of me. i just don't want to jump right in yet. i'm trying to take this slow so i don't freak out. it's hard and not easy getting back into things.

Hey, don't worry about all the extra things they've got going on. They don't expect everyone to always go to everything. they just let ya know in case you want to go to it. you don't have to though! I don't go to all the things either. Love ya Janae!
ReplyDeletehey thanks ashley. i should of texted you about this. i've kinda been freaking out all day, like i'm not ready to just jump in there yet. getting in touchg with the missionaries and now going to church was a huge step. i'm trying to take one thing at a time here so i don't turn and run away again. love you ash!

ReplyDeleteHey there! I just wanted to post and agree with Ash. There are so many things that get planned, especially in a singles ward if that's the one you are going to, that it can be way overwhelming to even think about going to them all. I know it stresses me when I look at the calendar and there is a church thing planned for every night! Just pick and choose what activities sound good to you, no one goes to everything. :) I am very happy for you and just wanted to tell ya I love ya and let me know if I can ever do anything for ya!
Janae! your blog has quickly become my favorite, it makes me so happy! i am so proud of you! I know it can be hard and overwhelming at times, but just keep your head up and take it at your own pace. Heavenly Father is soo proud right now with the effort you are making, that is all he asks, do the best you can and he is there to help you when you can't go farther. Im here for you if you need anything. i love you! : )
