I just... can't seem to want to go to anything but the current lenten midweek services we have and even when I went tonight, I didn't want to be there.
Part of that is due to my struggles with tinnitus and not being able to bear loud noises.
The other part is... it doesn't make me feel at peace with God. Going through the service only makes me cry. I sit in the back cry room (a room that's used for parents with babies that cry so that they don't disturb the people in service and so the parents can still partake in the service) and I cry and let the tears fall all through the service.
The songs and hymns make me cry. The blessings make me cry. Everything in service makes me cry. It's not a good kind crying either. I'm truly very hurt inside and am struggling and God is the only one I hold onto. But nothing about what He's done for us or anything makes me smile anymore. It all only makes me sad and sick at heart.
