Hey everyone, it has been a bit since our last update. Things have been pretty wild around our house lately. This past weekend was a real tough one for us. On Thursday night I announced to our deacons board that we would be resigning. Saturday I told our youth leaders. Sunday morning I told our youth before church. And then at the end of the service we told the congregation. It was pretty much brutal. Lots of tears and emotions that are really hard to even express but we know that God has been leading us down this path. Our ministry at Newton ends on October 31st.
What is next for us? We don't know. As of October 31st are jobless. We have been talking with a church about the possibility of us being their youth pastor and we are hoping that will work out. However if they decided they would like to go in another direction we have nothing else lined up, which would probably mean me having to get a 'regular' job for a bit while we look at other options.
Either way it is our hope that we will be able to take a significant break between whatever we end up doing. We have been advised to take 3 months off. We have no idea how to make that happen but we feel it is necessary.
As you can see there are several ???'s in our life right now, but that is part of faith in Jesus. We know that he was releasing us from Newton and we listened, so we will continue to do that in the steps ahead. Your prayers are welcomed!
