Times IS Hard...

Terrible grammar, right? That's the last thing on my mind tonight. I am beginning to believe that growing pains of life are worse than the pains I feel after I run for 30 minutes or so. So, my faith is a major part of my life and at times, it causes me a great deal of stress. Tonight is one of those nights when my faith is stressing me. I've been attending my church regularly for about 5 years and I've been quite active for about the past 3 years. I like most of the church folk and I love the Pastor, but...I'm just not happy there anymore. I've realized that I need to be involved with a younger ministry, one that is more concerned with community outreach, one that challenges me spiritually and empowers me socially. Is this too much to ask? Under normal circumstances I'd say no, but I have strong ties to some of the members at the church. I'm afraid that my leaving the church will cause them a great deal of pain; however, I think I should be more concerned about my happiness and sanity than the pain I may cause someone else. Tell me what you think.
