Interesting times indeed. I recently resigned my church in central Texas and now we are moving our family to Nashville, TN. I'm looking forward to a new chapter of discovery, growth and ministry. I will be serving as a pastor on the staff of Bethel World Outreach Church in Brentwood, TN. New seasons and new beginnings.
The timing is interesting as it is occuring at the beginning of the new year 2012. I have always liked new seasons, both natural and spiritual. This is no exception. We have served in this church for 9 and a half years. I have sensed God shifting something for some time.
Two words stand out to me concerning this transition: 1) Positioning and 2) Expectation. These two words capture the essence of what this move means for us. God is positioning us strategically for his will to be executed and we are to go with expectation and faith. So, here we go!
Though I am sad to see you go...I know God has plans for all of us and His timing is perfect ALL THE TIME!! God Bless you and your family and I know you are an instrument through which God mightily moves....Thank you for the short time I got to know you and your family and for the encouragement through your daily posts on FB....I'm glad for this technology to keep up with you and yours...Life is a beautiful journey especially for the times with special people we encounter even if for such a short time....<3

Thank you Abigail. It has been a joy to see you go from a 'sneak in' kind of attender to someone who is passionately following Jesus and growing in grace daily! I'm proud of you and I too look forward to staying connected via technology. Blessings!
