This is exssssssssssssssiting.

Yes, I know, I spelled that incorrectly. It only further shows how excited I am about this.

I AM A MEMBER OF MARS HILL CHURCH

Do you KNOW how exciting that is?! If you don't, IT'S VERY EXCITING! Ahh!! I don't have the right words for it. It feels so good to finally be connected somewhere and feel like people want me to be there. I'm not just another fixture or another number, I'm a human that people want to know. I'm not treated like an outsider because I help out at another church from time to time.

No offense to some of the people at Eastside, but that's how I feel every time I walk into that building a little late because I was at Community Group.

You know what really hurt? Was when I told someone whom I thought was a friend that I was an 'official' member at MHC and they literally turned their back and walked away. I would never do that to them just because they go to Eastside and not MHC; never. I find it interesting and a little shallow that they would think it's ok for them to do that to me. Or when someone tried to talk me out of being a member at MHC. Who cares where I'm a member as long as the church loves and worships God and I'm growing in my relationship with Him? What difference does it make?! NONE!

Sorry, that was a little rant, but it's ridiculous.

Either way, I'm stoked beyond reason to be a member and I'm SO looking forward to what's a head :D
