30 Days of Blogging - Day 22: Goodbye Church [Building]

9! DUHNAHNAHNUH!

Tomorrow we hand over the keys to our church building. It has finally sold.

It's strange, this feeling of happysad...

Goodbyes kind of suck no matter how much you're expecting them, you know.

And, in this case, this goodbye has even been hoped and prayed for for YEARS!

I'm looking forward to this next chapter for my little congregation. I know, from the last time that we were in this position, that these changes in routine really bring everyone together again.

It's going to be frustrating renting a space again, but I do love the space that we'll be in. It has such lovely acoustics :) and it literally brings us closer together. Get it? Because it's small!

God is doing something. We're just trusting. It's all for his glory.

Letters to Anxiety

Edit from the future for some context: Summer of 2015 I learned that I had been living with undiagnosed anxiety. And not just for a few years, but likely for my whole life. To say that the coping mechanisms that I had learned in those 25 years were "bad" is a significant understatement. It took me 3 years from this point to learn enough healthy coping mechanisms to -start- to tip the balance in the right direction, and another 2 years before I stopped using "failure" as a label for myself. Of all the posts on this blog, this one is the one I've wanted to delete the most. Just look at it! It's so cringey!! But, for better or for worse, I've decided that it gets to stay. It was an honest moment in time, and I don't have the heart to hide it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hey Anxiety, You suck. Sincerely, Me P.S.

So... How've you been?

Hello lovelies!  It occurred to me today that I have been neglecting my poor little blog! To make up for it, here is another  Random Things  post :) Thing One:  Movies!!! So many movies coming out in November that I want to see!! Off the top of my head... Big Hero 6, Mockingjay, and The Imitation Game. I know that's only 3, but considering a that a typical month has maaaybe one, I think it's impressive. Such a random spread too! I feel like it gives a pretty good insight into my personality... you've got the love of disney/animated/adorable, the gotta-see-how-well-they-adapt-this-book-why-are-they-making-it-two-parts-that-seems-unnecessary, and the nerd in me wanting to see 1) Benedict Cumberbatch, and 2) the history behind the one of the coolest set of code-breaking nerds ever!  I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it...etc.). Thing Two:  Singing in Public I'm not sure how I missed this about myself before, but it has come to my attention lately that I

Dear Love, About Boxing Day...

I haven't blogged in months. This is mostly because I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety in this time and had the (decidedly disabling) thought that if I blogged at all, I should write about anxiety... Turns out that it is kind of anxiety inducing to write about anxiety. So I'm cutting myself free of that for now and I'm sure I'll write about it eventually, just not when it's a "should" write about that, but instead a "want to" write about that. I'm going to write instead about something very currently important. Dear Love, I need to talk to you about Boxing Day. Yes, December 26th. It's on a Saturday this year. (It's not important that it's on a Saturday, I was just pointing it out because I'm nervous.) So here the thing... Boxing Day is a big deal for my mom's side of the family; it's a big family reunion and all that jazz. And, well, I was kinda hoping you would be able to come this year. BUT th
