Living Life - a blog I wrote but don't remember writing. hmmmm

Hello!!! Happy hump day to you!!! I am just taking my 30 min lunch break and thought I would just shoot out a random blog for today.

Last night I had a great meeting at the church I will be joining this coming Sunday. It was great to get together with others and discuss how to form life groups for this smaller scale church. You see I was attending a church for the past 7 years that now consists of approximately 20,000 members (or partners as they call them). When I first started to attend that church there were roughly 2,000. I actually grew up in a much smaller church - maybe 500+ members but on a given Sunday only about 200 or less would show up.
Over the last two years as the church I attended grew more and more my comfort level started bottoming out! I felt lost and disconnected from the staff (notice I call them staff and not even pastors) they seemed untouchable... even emails needed to be fielded through secretaries or assistants. Being single and having no children made my life seem like a back burner option to the church.

Don't get me wrong that church gives awesome messages, great (professional style) music, and for children of all ages it is awesome to learn about Jesus there. But for single, never been married, over 40, with no kids ever... it was disquieting to my soul. So, in January I decided to do something about it... I decided for my self and soul to seek out a church that can feed me not because I am single, over 40, and childless, but because I am seeking more, wanting more, and needing more as far as interaction, community, fellowship, and just plain compassion on a personal level. Well I found it!!

I was actually at this church about three years ago when I attended a Financial Peace University class.
