Tonight was my last night at Michelangelos. I have never had such a sorrowful and rejoicing night at the same time before. I had quit last Thursday and tonight was my last night. I always knew it was coming, but couldn’t believe how quickly it arrived. I said goodbye to everyone and then just walked out. Through the employee doors, out the front entrance, into the car, and drove home. And now...

It has been 592 days since I started working there. Almost 2 years! Tons of people have passed through Michelangelos, but I will never forget my time there. It will always be reminder of how tolerance of evil can destroy your spiritual perception of things, how every minute working there could have been a witnessing opportunity, and finally, an ever present realization that I will not be able to save every unbeliever I love from the gates of hell but rather must lay my faith and trust in God’s firm foundation. I am not held responsible for them. And I am stating this as a reminder more than a fact for me. Because I feel very responsible. I will always remember those I love there, and how they broke my heart. They have made an imprint me and I shall never forget them. Never. I feel lost on this path that suddenly chose me to travel on it. I can’t see my direction. The only sure and true thing I can rely on is Christ alone.
