Tough choice

Those who follow my Facebook are already somewhat aware of this but I thought I'd share with our blogging audience as well that Nate and I have made the difficult decision to leave our church. This is something that has been building for quite some time. The community there is not what it once was and it just doesn't feel like a home anymore. I had been waffling on what I wanted to do for a few months now. Things had gotten worse over the last couple of weeks. Finally, some events transpired over last weekend and out of respect for those involved I won't elaborate, but it more or less it made my decision that it is time to move on.

For those who know me, you know what a tough choice this is for me. I am sad about it, but at the same time, I know that this is the healthy thing to do for my sanity and well being. Nate is extremely supportive and is willing to go wherever I want to go. We're in this together and I'm so thankful to have him by my side as we begin a journey of finding a new spiritual "home". I'm excited for new opportunities and I trust that the Lord has much more in store for me, possibly bigger and better things than where I was at now. It is this faith that will keep me going in the days and weeks ahead.

The Follies will be my last event at my current church. I am putting my issues aside and planning to go out and have a really fun time, this show is awesome and has been really fun to put together. After that, I'm putting everything in God's hands and just seeing where things go.

In other news we have many fun things upcoming to look forward to, including some major painting at home that I can't wait to get started! Stay tuned!

Thanks for sharing Beth. Sorry that you had to be put in that kind of position, but it sounds like you and Nate are handling it perfectly. If you don't mind my recommendation; you live very close to the church I grew up at Salem Covenant. We haven't been there the last couple years so I'm not sure of how many changes etc have been made but it's worth checking out :)

I loved Roseville Covenant but I think you are probably looking for a Catholic Church, Wishing you luck!
