"Wow, you go to church?"

Yes, I do go to church. Is that so hard to understand? Religion is everywhere. People are catholic, Christian, Jews, etc. While I do admit that I go to church an awful lot, around 4 times a week, it doesn't take up all of my week. I still hang out with friends, go to school, have fun on the weekends, etc. All my life I've been going to church even when I was still a fetus and when I was born I was that annoying baby crying louder than a speaker. Since I've been there so long I've really managed to get to know the people and now every one of them are like my second family. I know my best friend Lily through church and I've been seeing her three times a week for the past 5 years. We are tighter than bark on a tree.

I love my church in the way that it is not boring like other churches. While Catholics focus on interpreting bible verses and reciting prayers all my church does is give out motivational and moral lessons about life based on the Bible. Every Sunday I go to the gym and learn a bible story or a moral lesson and then we play volleyball and eat snacks. In special events we spend a month working on a play. About once a month we have a huge fundraiser where we sell food. Then we have women's events where we eat food and talk about things that actually matter. In the summer we go out to lakes, hang out in Wisconsin, and have picnics. We really enjoy having events. 

In church I am part of the dance group. While it may sound weird or lame I actually really enjoy it. I've been part of the group for the past 7 years and while the group has changed we are all family. Every Sunday we start of the day by dancing in white leotards, white skirts, and white leggings, and our dance dresses. Every single one is beautiful and elaborate. We make special dances for events like mothers day as well as women's day in our church. It's one of my favorite things to do. The picture below is some of my dance dresses. Everyone looks phenomenal.
