Its never to late to go back. You obviously can recogonize that God and the Holy Spirit are both speaking to you.
I used to be like you, I sang at church but when our youth director was fired by our pastor, i still have no idea why, i stopped singing and going to youth group. I still went to church but i just went through the motions. What brought me back was the fact that no one in my life could make me as happy as i am standing right there singing to GOd. No one can hold you and reassure you that everything will be okay the way God can. The feeling of wanting to belong was just the push i needed, and sounds like the same for you. I really hope you go back to church because you will find God's will and all the amazing things you are meant to do for Him. You are being saved right now if you go back. What are you waiting for? Just walk in, you don't need to explain anyting to anyone, just walk in and see. THat first step you take in the biggest difference you can make in your life, you show the iniative and God will take it from there.
All the best, and i am so proud of you going back to church! YOU are a rockstar!!

Apparently, the Holy Spirit is calling you back to your old church, but you are fighting it. Just do what He tells you. You will not regret it.

Why don't you want to go back to your old church? Are you ashamed? Don't be. Jesus died for our sins so we never have to feel shame. Remember the story of the Prodigal Son? One son left his father so he didn't have to live under his rules. He went out into the world to live on his own. The other son stayed and helped his father faithfully. Years later the wayward son returned, broken, poor. He'd been living with pigs. And the father welcomed him with open arms and gave him everything good he had to offer. That's how God sees us. He knows we make mistakes and fall away, get distracted, but every time we come back it is a joyful celebration! He is waiting to give you all of His best gifts. Go back to church. Ask for forgiveness and feel no shame. You are a jewel in His crown.
