the special announcement
Today I just gave my supervisor notice that I am leaving at the end up the month.
To go back to school. In Cincinnati.
Several reasons factored in:
1. After 13 months, I am still a temp. I'm not bitter or anything. Nobody ever promised me permanent employment. Still though, it's time to move on.
2. An M.Div has always been my goal. But, it is a 90 hour degree, and was just gonna take forever. So, I settled for an M.Min, only 60 hours, planning to then get a ministry and finish the remaining 30 hours. But, some of that hasn't quite worked out to this point.
And, to make it worse, I only have 4.5 years to finish. Which seems like a lot of time. But, going part time, not so much. So, given my current place in life, why not take a full load this spring and knock out a third of those hours.
3. I quit going to church about a month ago.
Lots of reasons here. But, it boils down to this: I don't like the churches here in Frankfort. So, I'm not going.
But, that looks bad on a ministry resume. So, I need to go to church somewhere. And, I have a great church in cincy, I I figure I'll go back.
4. I miss everyone up there. And I have no social life here.
And, there are other factor involved. It was a complicated decision. It was tough. But I'm excited. So, pray for me. Pray that my housing situation works out, that I can find a job and all of that stuff.
