Haven’t been able to go to church

I’ve been keeping up with services on YouTube, but I haven’t gone in person because my coughing fits and how weak I feel. It’s been two months.
It’s different going in person and actually being around other people. I’m grateful for service being online, but the internet is never going to be able to reproduce what being around people gives you. (Especially being around my brothers and sisters in Christ)

I dreamed that I went, but we were in a different building and I was able to lay down during service. 😅 That would seriously help. I just feel so weak and tired lately.

Maybe I’ll try going to the next ladies’ Bible study to test if I can make it the whole time without a coughing fit. I really miss church.

I have a tiny bit of the same problem. Nothing like what you are suffering, of course...but I hesitate to go to church because I have been coughing so much for about a month.

@4meAndyou I’m worried I’ll interrupt the service with a coughing fit or just have to leave early.

@Colonelmustardseed IF and when I go again, I plan to wear a face mask and sit in the far back so that I can leave if things get out of control. I went ONCE while I was still coughing, wore a face mask, and I STILL got some very horrified "looks".

@4meAndyou I hate those looks.
