organized religion

so i have been reading a friends note on facebook. it got started into a feed. and i could not help but participate. it had to do with faith. then somehow it got veered toward organized religion. lately it seems a lot of peopel want to complain about organized religion. i admit. i was there at one point in my life. i wrote to this person and tried to explain its not about those 4 walls. its about your heart and your relationship with God. i think people get confused about religion and spirituallity and christianity. i dont think of myslef as a reliosgious person per say. but i think i do have a relationship with god. i dont think,,i know. it has taken me a lot of heartache and a lot of mistakes. but i am at a place in my life where i am at peace. i know who God is and i know who i am to him. i really dont care what the church has to say about me. i do go and i think its a good thing to do. i dont always agree with whats going on but i think it helps motivate me through the week ahead. with my job the way it is now i only get to go to church 2 times a month. i miss it on the weeks i dont go. it was something i took for granted. now i cherish those days.
there are so many people that make up excuses about why they dont go . the hypocrites, the judgement. I KNOW!!!! but we have to realize,,,we are all humans. like i said to this friend,,i think christians sometimes forget what its like outside of those church walls,about what we face in the real world what comes at some of us. how hard we fight to make right choices. and when we fail,,,,they assume they would not have chosen that path. ,,but can i say,,it really doesnt matter what "people" think or say. it only amtters where your ehart is, and who is forgiving you, it matters about yoru relationship wioth God. ,
am i getting too preachy?? sorry. it is just really getting to me altely all the judgements and the cutting down of churches, i ahve actually heard "christians" cut down other churches,,,WHY??? if you dont agree with the church,,,then dont go,,,but why continue to tear it down. i honestly dont get it.
well i am going to go, i know this was heavy. im just thinking on paper.
i pray you all find peace. look for the relationship. thats all God really wants, he wants to know you.
