Better as a Memory

Moving on is something that is hard for me to do. I made one of the best decisions I have ever made. Yes, moving to Alabama to work with teens was a great choice, but I should have moved back to Tennessee when I was done. I love being back in Tennessee. At first I wanted to move because I was ready to get back involved in teenager's lives, but I have learned a lot about myself and working teens. I am helping teach a teenager's class, and I am involved in a small group, but I no longer want to be a youth minister, full-time. That is now known as a great memory. I love my job because of the people I work with. There is no longer this pressure of trying to please parents. It is a great feeling. Sure, I miss the relationship building, but as of right I do not plan on getting involved in ministry full-time, again. One of the main reasons why I am not getting back involved is that companies treated me better, than churches did. How sad is that? I do not have to get shot down because I am not qualified because I not married. Oh, I how I remember the excuses from churches.

Again, I think the best decision I have ever made was to move back to Tennessee. I love being up here. I happy with my life, and found a great church at Tusculum Church of Christ, and meeting some great people. Montgomery will be a memory, but Tennessee is my future. How I like making great memories, now that I back at home, and were I belong.
