So I returned earlier today from the first part of my freshman orientation at the university I'll be attending in the fall (CNU Captains woop woop!!) and came home to realize that this Sunday is my pastor's last one with our congregation.
Now to clarify: Pastors moving churches is fairly typical in the United Methodist Church. However, I've only really attended a church since I was 10. And the pastor that is leaving has been here throughout my high school career and is the one, I believe, who helped me become the person I am today.
The thought of telling him goodbye KILLS me inside and I just know I'll end up in tears on Sunday. And it'll be embarrassing because many people will be happy to see him go (I don't know why, he's the most Godly man I've ever met).
Freshman orientation was an overall positive experience and my schedule ended up working out (I'm taking a PHIL 200 level course!!) and I never got a roommate which meant dorm to myself! But it's just really hard for me to be going through all these changes at once.
The three changes that should never happen within the same week: High School Graduation, College Freshman Orientation, and a Cherished Pastor Leaving.
PS: Stolen by Dashboard Confessional is LOVE. <3
