I have been wanting to become more involved with my religion in the past year (my family is Christian but never goes to church or is particularly religious), but when I go to church, it feels both too real and also too little. I didn't grow up going, so I feel a little distant not having read the Bible and experiencing the services. At the same time, I feel overwhelmed being in a place of faith and worship and feeling so happy and at the same time feeling extremely emotional and overwhelmed - I don't really know how to describe it. The last time I went, I cried, and cried hard. I'm also not familiar with how services go and things that everyone seems to know by heart but I have no clue about. I truly believe in God, but for me worship has always been in private. I feel awkward telling my parents I want to attend services, and it's weird being in a place with other people who share the same faith as I do (church), because I'm so used to just praying alone in my room. I think I'm just overwhelmed with really leaning into my beliefs, and truly letting myself believe in God and seeing and meeting others who believe in Him. Has anyone else experienced this? There's no one I can really talk to around me, and I get emotional talking about it with my parents. Can anyone give me some advice?
