About Me

My photo
I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

This Is It Y'all!

As I had said before I only had one more person to tell about my departure from my church and that was the sectional presbyter. Well I finally did that and I had to send a letter of resignation in to him since I was holding a sectional position. (It’s a Christian denomination thing). Well anyway, I’m finally done.
Sunday was our final youth led service. We had worship, two human videos and three speakers, one of which was me. I spoke out against religion, tradition, legalism, judgment, being self centered, and “program” centered services amongst other things. I felt God Lead me to speak about the simple and yet all powerful love of God and how it is the center and the essence of everything that the church should be. I poured my heart out on the last time I preached.

My sister and I received plaques thanking us for our service and all of that. They prayed for us and we had a lunch at the end.
Every moment of that day was going down in history in my mind from the last Sunday worship set in which I played the drums, to the last human video that I ever participated in with the youth, to the last tag team sermon spoken with my team of leaders.
As for Sundays it is all officially over. Next Sunday (or Saturday, lol) is my first official Sunday at my new church. I’m looking forward to worshiping with them.
This Friday is my last Youth Service With Other Side Uth, the ministry that has been my heart and soul for the last 6 years of my life from my time as a staff member to my time as official youth Pastor. I’m sad but I’m looking forward to it. It is going to bruise my heart to leave those kids but God willing I will leave them in able and anointed hands that will lead them into another level of ministry. In the next few Fridays I will probably start attending a cell group in my town and start meeting people from my new church.
I can’t believe that it is all finally over; it’s all coming to an end. I can’t believe that the next level of my life has arrived. I feel like Clark Kent leaving Smallville and going to Metropolis to fulfill his destiny. (lol nerdy, I know) This Friday is my last Friday with OSU, The Last Ride of Wyatt Earp and His Immortals! I promise… I won’t cry, lol.
