J admitted that she nearly went to the small group last Tuesday (when I was away) but then she was turned off by the topic under discussion. So that break actually wouldn't have been a break at all - it would have coincided with the holiday break that the group took.
Yesterday she was in a "humphy" mood all day - nothing was quite good enough. We had some friends of mine over on Monday, and apparently both of them had asked her why she didn't go to another group rather than persisting with the Baptist Church. She asked me why they had asked her - truthfully, I said I didn't know. And then last night she was even more "humphy" - "I'm bored". She had tried contacting a friend so she could go out. Then she admitted that she wanted to go to small group. I said, in some fury, "go then, your break lasted one week" - "three", she said before storming upstairs. She did come down calmer an hour later, but she's still in a foul mood today. I mentioned going to Australia yesterday evening - "I don't want to go"...
She admitted last week that she didn't even believe it! She's looking for excitement in a life that doesn't really allow it. I would have loved to go out with her last night, just somewhere different, but then the childcare options kick in. She has much more social interaction than I do - yet somehow there's something still pulling her into church. Guilt? Fear?
