My Church was so beautiful

Date: 9/5/2019

I've had a long hiatus from going to church due to two reasons really: the priest that was there turned the church into more of a business than a place of worship, and also, I have been feeling more spiritual than religious lately, my belief system expanding outside of the Catholic religion of which I was raised. The priest just recently left, and we'll be getting a new one. I don't know if it's because of this knowledge and also because I was finally inside my church last night after years of absence for a meeting of a local town volunteer club (not in the actual church, but the back hall), but last night I dreamt that I was inside the church, and it looked so bright, filled with large green plants up at the altar where I stood. It was beautiful! It kind of reminded me of this other church I had wanted to join that I thought was beautiful, but the parking there is chaotic, plus there's not an accessible entrance, but these steep stairs you have to climb. My church also looked so much more vast than I remember. We had a female priest, and that also made me feel more welcome too.
