Recently, I have had a sudden change in both my attitude and
opinion about going to church. When I was younger, I would dread the thought of
waking up early on a Sunday morning just to go to church. I already have to
wake up early for school, and now I only get one day to sleep in? How lame. My
parents are pretty strict on the whole going to church deal, so when I would be
laying in bed barely awake on a Sunday and I heard the metal part of the belt,
making a clingy noise as my mom would walk to my room, you better believe I was
up and out of my bed. On the bright side to waking up early for church back
home in Hawaii, is that my parents would treat to breakfast. Now that I am on
my own, I thought I wouldn’t be going to church as often, just because my parents
are not here to make me, yet I find myself at church on time every Sunday since
I have been out here. I heard this saying, “Most people can sit through 2 hours
of the newest movie out, but they can’t sit for an hour in church?” I told
myself, I am not going to be one of those people. I love going to church now,
it’s time for me to get away from school, baseball, etc. and just pray. I mean
if you believe in the lord then that’s your life. I’m saying that if you do
believe in him, then get up and go to church. You should give thanks to be
alive and be thankful for everything you have. Stop looking at what you don’t have. When no
one is there for you, God is. Thanks for reading.
