Some times I think about what season it is, and what I'd be getting ready to do if I were still in the church world. Now I wonder if I would still think certain people (who left my life when I left my various church-y jobs) were my friends.
Maybe one day I won't wonder at all π€·πΌββοΈ

Best question in the debate about the #SBC23 amendment to Art III of the Constitution: What does it say that we are slow on the take in addressing the sexual abuses of women but fast on the draw to remove them from ministry? The answer is clear to anyone who is listening.
It is weird to be told by someone you though was a friend that your "brand" (aka my personality) is not a good "gamble" for them, professionally.
It is also weird to know I used to be ok with people talking to me like this. #deconstruction#imgood
@TheMattDailey It also feels like confirmation of what I guess I always knew. There was a REASON I hid some of the best parts of me for so long. Because I knew when they knew they would leave(or make me leave), and blame me and my "lifestyle" πββοΈ
I find I am sitting in a weird place. Feeling free but missing what I am free from. Recognizing just now how much of my life was governed by shame and feeling like I "owed" my superiors (and their spouses?!?) my all and left nothing for myself. Deconstruction, #amiright
