Changes

Changes in the circumstances of life are inevitable. Some are expected, some are not. Tonight my church held a meeting for the whole congregation wherein the pastoral staff shared that through much prayer and heartache, our senior pastor would be stepping down to continue following God's call in his life. One of our two associate pastors received a similar call to step down. The senior pastor isn't quite sure yet where God is leading him, but the other will be heading to Alabama to attend seminary. Our new head pastor is a man from the States, currently pastoring in Edinburgh. Everything lined up so that there could be no mistake this is the will of God, and though I'm excited for the changes that'll come about, I'm also sad to see good friends go. However, it's possible that I'll be leaving Seattle in the near future as well, and I'm afraid that will be a tremendously harder life change.
