Obedience

So last week, one of my best friends, and the greatest influences in my life resigned from his position at my church. Jacob has been more than a pastor to me the last five years. A best friend, and a father-figure.

You can't really be angry at someone for following God's calling, but it is surely upsetting and unexpected. In my mind, it seems so small. Someone is just moving a thousand miles away. I didn't get that upset when my brother left. In my heart, this event is unsettlingly traumatic.

There's more on his blog about why he's leaving, and his future plans.

It seems all I've ever had is great friends who leave some way or another. Like everyone important to me leaves, but how can I blame them?

So right now, I have choices to make.

Do I want to go find another church?

or

Do I want to just give up on church?

or

Do I want to stay and make the best?


I really don't know.

Updates to come, surely.

The Cycle Continues

Once again I've deleted all the posts on my blog just to start again. Hopefully, I can keep this one up and not feel the need to delete it.

If you don't know me, and you're stumbling across this blog, maybe you'll attain some sort of understanding of me through these blog posts.

If you do know me, maybe you'll attain some sort of understanding of me through these blog posts.

There are quite a few things that have endlessly increasing and decreasing meaning to me. Music is one of those things that are very important to me. Friends are another. Love the third, or maybe just the pursuit of it.

Anyway, that's enough for now.

More posts soon to come.
