Gone, like Frank Sinatra


About a March of last year before I went to Germany with Louie to check things out for a future trip, I began contemplating what I was doing with life. I had a feeling that I would eventually be moving on from my current job as youth pastor & etc responsiblities. About 6 weeks ago, we (my most wise & excellent woman & myself) decided that the time to move on was now. I resigned to my father-pastor, which was difficult to say the least. This past weekend, we informed the youth group, which was probably one of the harder things I've done in my life. We also told the church & everyone else who needed to know. October 15th is my adios date.

I feel comfortable with the decision to leave, but slightly uncomfortable with the fact that I have no job. I've begun to look to see what's out there, & put feelers out to people I know who may have a lead. I'm looking forward to the changes that will be happening in our lives & do believe that God will take care of us. Knowing that & believing that are sometimes a bit different. We've talked about some of the things that Johannes spoke to us in Germany both in prayer & other conversations & have been encouraged that God will provide. I think God will honor the step of faith we're taking. If He doesn't, I can always go back to dancing.
