Ever feel like you really don't belong?

We took the girls to the third church in 4 weeks. We are trying to find one we like so they can be involved in Sunday School. So we drop Katherine off at "God Rocks" which is this particular church's sunday school program. The lady who is in charge of the kids, comes up to me when we dropped her off and says, in this super chipper crazy kindergarten teacher voice, "Does Katherine know our God is an Awesome God?". Ummmmmm, I stutter. Do I admit that she doesn't know much about church or religion? Do I lie? If I lie, will I get hit by lightning? Shoot! Ok, so I say "uh, not really. she knows he's a good guy though" I know. Stupid stupid stupid. I was astonished at how lame I must have sounded.

So DH and I sit down for the service and after a few minutes, all of the kids in K's class come out and start singing a song. "our God is an awesome God!" along with dancing. I literally buried my face in DH's shoulder when the realization hit that the teacher was asking about the song...not if K knows God or anything about church. I seriously almost died.

+Then everyone got up and took communion. Since I dont' know anything about that, DH and I sat it out. I didn't want to do something I didn't feel comfortable with. Of course, we were the only two people in the whole church that did so. Needless to say, we won't be going back to that church again.
