In a funk

Do you ever find yourself in a funk?  Right now I feel as if I am in a church funk.  What you don't know what that is?  Well I am happy for you. 

You may ask what qualifies as being in a church funk. 

Ever has those moment where you just aren't "feeling it".  You don't really want to go to church, for no good reason, you just don't feel like going?  You go to your lessons and you just aren't "feeling it"?  You come home and question why you went, feeling like you did not get anything out of it. 

Ever feel that way?  Well that is a funk. 

It is not that I have lost my testimony.  It is not that I don't believe.  It just feels like at this moment in time, I for what ever reason am having a hard time "feeling it". 

I know that I am the one lacking.  Maybe I am not listening well enough for the spirit, maybe I am ignoring what I hear.  It is hard to say.

What I do know is in times when you are in a funk the best solution is to plod along.  Go to church especially when you don't want to.  Listen to your meetings even when they are boring you to tears.  Be patient, this will pass.

From my own experience I have found that often times when I feel like I am in a funk, I will eventually learn something significant at the end of it all.  Something significant to me, to my personal progression.

At some point I will find myself enjoying church, find myself being touched by the spirit during a lesson.  Find myself wanting to improve myself.

For now I wait, I listen, I plod along...
