Okay, from now on, when I talk about my family, I'm talking about my real family, my church. If I'm reffering to my biological family, I'll call them my parents or my brother. I refuse to call them a family.
That being said, I need to spend some time with my family. I'm going to see some of them tomorrow, which I'm sooooo grateful for, but I need to think of a way to get all of our family back together. The church is my family. It's the only place I feel like I belong, and I know it is where I belong. But this mess of seperating it as much as they possibly can is just stupid!! And then with Huffmans leaving the church, we've lost not just Megen, and not just Renee, and not just Hannah, and not just Ms. Tara...but we lost all of them. Four members of our family, gone...all because somebody decided that a divided church is a better church. I don't agree with that logic, and I never will.
Also, change has become my mortal enemy. I hate it. If something isn't broke, don't fix it, but people always think it's neccesary to change things. Like our classes. We could've had combined classes one Sunday, and kept the Wednes day class like it was...but no, they had to go and screw up the Wednesday night classes, and cancel the Sunday classes all together. It's dispicible! And then they have the nerve to say that it was our choice, and that we wanted that. All they are is liars and I won't stand for it.
Oh well, I'm too upset to blog anymore...anyway, I'm looking forward to talking to Megan personally tomorrow anyway. Until then, dear sisters.

THE DEPARTURE: you wrote "all because somebody decided that a divided church is a better church."...
ReplyDeletedid you ever ask who made this decision? It wasn't 'big head' and it wasn't church leadership. As a matter of fact, NO ONE at your church has asked anyone to leave for at least the last 10 years. Nor is there any restriction keeping people from a return. So, you have to ask yourself why WE ALL suffered the departure of four of our friends. Many of us are sad to see the departure. Most of us which they hadn't left.
But, we also have to respect the will of the parent who made the decision to leave.
CHANGE... "And then they have the nerve to say that it was our choice, and that we wanted that. All they are is liars and I won't stand for it. "
ReplyDeleteI think you mis-understood. The students didn't make the decision, just provided their thoughts / suggestions. Also, keep in mind that just because you want something doesn't means it's the best option for the group. Addicts want drugs, but its not good for society. I encourage you to try something that the church leadership did... pray over the change. If the leaders truly followed God, then your issue is with Him.
