Lately, I am a hermit.
Lots of changes in my life. Some painful. Some exhilarating. And the energy I can usually use to be a “hanger-outer”, well, it is sucked into the “trying to stay alive” part of me.
I quit my job 2 weeks ago. I needed a change. And Thursday afternoon, when I walked out of there, I was devastated. I love my job. But 5 years….5 years is a long time, and I knew, and I know in my heart, it was time for me to move on. I am still excited about things going on at RidgePoint. Changes are being made for the better, and I wish I could still be there day to day to see them all come to fruition.
I’ll still be around. I’m singing Sunday morning, for the first time in ages. I am very excited to be on stage with Gabe and Rebecca, and all the other amazingly talented musicians we have. I’m excited that my volunteers are so incredible. I’m excited about the opportunities they have now, to step up and really show what they’re made of. I hope soon they’ll call me, and I’ll get to volunteer for them.
Anyway, that’s me, and that’s why I’ve been so quiet lately.
Oh yeah, my new job. Well, it’s retail. It’s crazy, but I’ve always wanted to do it. I love the challenge of it, the people, the routines, the measurables. I love managing talented teams, and I can’t believe I get that opportunity again. I get to go back out, leave church world, and hopefully show some people that Christians aren’t weird. Well, yeah ok ok I hear you laughing. Yes, I am still weird. I’m still me after all. I’m just excited about the possibility of having some influence in people’s lives. People who aren’t in church every week.
So soon I should have some good stories. Maybe I’ll spruce up the blog.
Wish me luck.
You will do great girl. Over the years you have challenged and inspired me with your passion and desire to see people enter into a relationship with Christ. I think RPC is a better place because of you being there. I will miss you.
hey I will be praying for you. I resigned from a ministry position I absolutely loved about 6 months ago after some huge leadership changes and structure changes….it was, like you said, devastating….but its been cool to see the journey God is taking me on. You’ll be in my prayers…good luck!
Hello Angiegirl,
I do not know you, nor do you know me, but I’ve visited Ridepoint off and on and have found that it is a refreshing change from the traditional church. Anyhow, about your resigning your ministry position. That takes a lot of courage and a lot of faith. Faith in knowing that God has plans for you and Courage in taking that leap of faith. You will be okay Angiegirl, as they say, God does not put us in situations that he does not think we can handle. Keep the faith Angiegirl!
I am so proud of you and I know you will do great.
You’ll do great! I hate to see you go. Your fingerprints are all over RPC. But, like you said, time for others to pick up and charge forward. Thanks for all you’ve done and continue to do.
Good Luck, Em. You are too talented not to excel at whatever you do.
Em, Just want you to know you will be missed!! You have blessed mine and Johnny’s heart many times with that beautiful voice of yours. It’s amazing where God sends us!! We never know who we will reach and where. I know he has great things planned for you. God bless.
I’m sure God has a plan for you. He has used you so well at RPC and will continue to do so. I loved seeing you up there Sunday – hope to see more of that now.
You are such an amazing talented musican and singer! My heart leapt for joy on Sunday when I saw you on stage! I love your voice and I’m so excited that you will get to sing more! yay!
I’m excitind for you about your new job, that can be challenging but fun at the same time. I’m sure that you will do great!
Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.
Hey beautiful! I am so proud of you. It has been very cool watching you grow. Stepping out can be scarry, but sometimes we just have to do it. You have been a HUGE part of any success that RPC has had over the past few years. You have a lot of talent and I am excited for you. Now about getting plugged in at church… You wanna work the 1st service or 2nd service at the info booth??? You knew I would ask! I love you girl!
