A few thoughts on Church

Looking for a church is not easy. Being in an interracial relationship with children I look for a few things. 

Here's my personal list

1) I need a multiracial church

2) Non-denominational 

3) Laid back setting

4) Children's church

I love The Lord but honestly I don't always feel like going to church. That's why I make it a weekly goal so no matter what, I know I need to go. (my accountability) We've been to a few churches and seen a few things. If you start learning personal things about a Pastor does it make you have a different view on them or can you separate the two? Honestly it's hard for me to do it. A Pastors role is extremely crucial & should be taken serious and not as a money maker! I'm coming to you as a spiritual adviser and you need to live right. Yes, I know their human but come on, lets be real! We are all held accountable and a sin is a sin but do you feel they should have some form of higher standards? I do. If someone is doing something illegal do you want them telling you to get yourself right? What if they don't treat their spouse right? What if they live a double life? We can go on and on here. How do you handle when there are things you feel just ain't right? I'm in that situation. I like our Pastor but there is a Pastor at the church that I just don't know about. I do question a few things he speaks about. Man are called but few are chosen (Mat 22:14) the Bible also speaks of false prophets. I'm left puzzled when around him and I don't like that feeling. I struggle with the "You can't judge someone only God can." I'm not trying to judge him but I'm confused based on his preaching and a few things in his personal life. I need to pray that God will give me the direction to go in because this is beyond me. What are your thoughts? 

It's Sunday and we are getting ready for another week, we had an amazing weekend though. Friday we went out to Grapefest which has become a tradition for us, lol. Grandma treated us for the night. We had funnel cake, fried potatoes and corn dogs! Everything we didn't need! The kids had a blast playing around though. Saturday dad ran a 5k and we were there to support him. Hopefully I can get in on one too and run it, a wish right now. Today we made it out to church which felt great. The past three Sunday's we haven't made it to where we normally go so being at "home" we were back to comfort. Mikey cried when we picked him up from his class as he wasn't ready to leave. It's indescribably the feeling to have a child that loves going to church, and it melts your heart when your children are missed in their classes.  We wrapped up our Sunday by going to the park and picking dinner up. Our babies were exhausted so we laid them down early, yippee! No resting for mom as I've been busy getting work done. Unfortunately night time is the only time I have for myself  but being productive always feels good. :)
