Done With Church

Description: A young woman walks down an isolated road pulling her suitcase... walking away from a church that is overshadowing her.

Done With Church

Sometimes I draw a cartoon like this... with more detail, shading, story.

The last time I left the church, in 2010, I felt like this.

Did you know it's okay to say, "I'm done with church!"?

You might change your mind one day.

But if that's how you're feeling now, then it's okay to own it now.

Know your feelings.

Own your feelings.

Say your feelings.

Walk your path.

With intention.

Like the woman in this drawing.
