New Church!

For the last two Sundays, I've found myself in church. Whoa. Not quite sure what's up with me wanting to get reacquainted with the Almighty, but it just felt like it was time to check out a new church. For a while, I'd heard about this church in Louisville called Sojourn, because supposedly it was like all the other churches my friends have gone to that I'd have to move away for. So we checked it out and LOVED it. The place is crazy. Definitely the kind of place I've been looking for over the past two years. I've been to a lot of churches and was super-critical once I walked in the doors. Some of that was unfounded; some of it was. With Sojourn, my guard was down because I was so desperate and hopeful that I would find a place to call my spiritual home, where I could find a body of believers that worshiped God the way I've felt called to do. So far, it hasn't burned me. In fact, this seems like the real deal. They have new member classes that they require you to take before you become a member, but other than that...they don't seem too fanatical. Not like Quest.

So I'm not sure if I can wait until October to move up there. My patience is wearing thin about this whole thing. I want to be up there to start serving, I want to be up there with Heather (especially now that the weather's not-so-handy and she needs more help getting un-stuck from the snow/ice), and I just want to get on with my life. While no opportunities are knocking to get that done at the moment, I'm just trying my best to assume this is just a time of working out the kinks so I can move to Louisville on my own terms and not like a chicken with its head cut off.

Awesome, dude. I'm glad you found a good place. In taking a look at their website, it sounds a lot like my church here in Rochester, just on a larger scale :)
