Summer, Summer

This is getting sorta old, wandering aimlessly, is it empty streets or empty me? - The Almost


No, really. I just want a church home already. This is getting old. It was fun at first...
Who am I trying to fool? It was never really fun.
Leaving behind friends is never fun...
But since we've gone, I've gotten better insight into what is going on at our old home. It's bad, really bad.
And I know that it's good we left. I'm kinda glad we left.
I'm kinda glad I'm gone.
But I just want a new home.
I just want a place where I can be accepted and want to know the people and learn about God. That's what church should be.
Then why is it so hard to find a new home?

We might try out a Saturday service at a church next week. I leave for Band Camp a week from today.

God, I'm trusting that you have a church in mind for us. Why can't we find it???

Here We Go Again...

Heading out to my Grandpa's church again today. They have a new pastor and want us to check him out.

Just to check him out.

But hey, I get to hang with my grandparents, and they're awesome.

So, here goes. Time to put on my smiley face again.

Getting Better

I'm getting better.
No, I wasn't sick. I mean I think I'm starting to get over the hurt.
Don't get me wrong, it still hurts. BAD. But I think I'm starting to heal.
I just need a lot of prayer, guys. If you're reading this, can you pray for me?

We're going to another church tonight. I think it'll be cool, I've met their youth pastor before.
(And we're taking an Ikea trip beforehand!!!)

Nothing can go wrong when Ikea's in the equation, right??

Familiar Faces

Today we went to the church whose youth group I went to camp with last summer.
Did that make sense?
Our old youth pastor had a connection at that church (Actually, he and his wife have a connection at what seems like every church) so our youth groups went to summer camp together.

After a month, it was such a great feeling to be welcomed by name and get hugs from people I haven't seen in a year. I really wish we could go there. I felt like I was almost home.

Unfortunately, it's pretty far away.

Just when I find a place I like and could go to, it's too far away.
But Jesus gave me a reassurance this morning, via my friend Micah.
He was explaining to us that Satan has no hold over us, because Jesus has totally and completely disarmed him.
He has no hold over me, because Jesus has disarmed him.
It's such a good feeling, knowing that he can never hurt me.
It's such a good feeling, knowing that Jesus already knows where I'll end up.
