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.
