Going Through a Tough Breakup With Your Church

Week 1.

Walked into a church that was in the middle of a dating series. During the offering, they played Beyonce’s “Put a Ring On It.” Not the song, the VIDEO!

Yeah, I know!! I leaned over to my roommate and said, “Wait, should I be lusting right now? No? OK. That’s what I thought.”

I can’t attend a church like this. I did use the meet and greet time to chat with a few independent ladies though.

Week 2.

Walked in and saw a flyer for a mission trip the church was taking to the Grand Cayman Islands over Spring Break.

Theologically, I knew we probably wouldn’t agree on much so I decided not to go back to that church (I am going on the trip though!). #thanksgrandma

Week 3.

I really liked this church, but I glanced around during worship and saw my ex-girlfriend’s best friend there.

I cried during worship (reason for tears: still unknown). Maybe it was because the worship band played Hillsong’s “With Everything” (love that song), or maybe it was a result of memories of holding hands and eating gummy worms while walking though Universal Studios.

Either way, it felt good. I enjoyed the rest of my morning there before driving home listening to Taylor Swift.

Week 4.

No wifi. Didn’t stay long enough to form an opinion.
