It's funny you should mention game night Grace. That's exactly what I've been talking to a friend of mine about doing. It's really hard to get people to be interested in doing something different! Can you say RUT???
I used to be in a Bunco group but we disbanded because everyone's lives got so crazy. It's really sad that we can't seem to take time for ourselves one night a month but we can give up our time so easily to meaningless things.
The church were I attended Divorce Care offers the class in the standard 13 week cycle and then encourages you to join a Lifegroup for further growth and Bible study. This is not the church I attend but I need to join a small group at my own church. I'm having a hard time finding one though. Our church has groups for singles however I don't feel that I fit there since I'm separated, not divorced. The other groups are couples, young women (20's), widows, and mixed. I'm not sure how mixed the mixed groups are and I'm afraid I'll end up in the wrong place where I'm not comfortable. My personality does not permit me to offend someone by backing out of a group once I've started with them so I'm afraid that if I end up in the wrong group I'll not be able to back out and try a different one even if I'm totally miserable. Then I won't grow and my walk with Christ will suffer because of it.
I pray to find the courage to step out in faith that God will put me in the right place. I'm obviously not comfortable with any decisions I make for myself since I made such a horrific mess of my life when I thought I could do it on my own.
