Bittersweet

Tomorrow, which is actually today, is my last day at Feather Sound Community Church. I'm not gonna lie, it's going to be a tough time saying adios to the youth group. I've been at that church for 20 years, grown up in the youth group, and watched it go through many changes. So much of my life has been invested in it, but it's time to open a new chapter in my life.

I can only hope I've impacted those kids as much as they've impacted me. I mean, they are so amazing. I have had the privilege of leading them over the last year, but for the most part I feel like they've taught me more than I could ever teach them.

But even though it's going to be difficult to leave, I know I'm doing the right thing. I believe God is calling me to The Movement Church, so that's where I'm gonna go. Being obedient has always been a struggle for me because of my independence, but I'm going and I'm trusting God that this is the right thing to do.

I've attended a few services already and I've never been so welcomed by strangers before in my life. These people are so real and honest and they love God with all their being. It's incredible. And I am so excited to be a part of this.

In other news, Tim Wagner and I have started a band called The Exceptions and we had our first practice today. It went really well. We almost have one complete song and we're probably gonna record a rough track next week. All we need now is another guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer...

peace, love, and high hopes.
