Dallas Fort Worth has been really good to me for the last 24 years. And though I found what I'm called to go a couple of years ago, and have every opportunity in the world to move to LA, and as well have been offered to stay with a wonderful friend, the ONLY thing that holds me back... the ONLY thing that holds me back...
...is my church.
When you make a big move, you're supposed to feel at ease about the move. I forgot how my previous pastor once put it... but if you leave a place (ANY place) on bad terms, whether it be you thinking it was someone elses fault or your own, then that's not the right time to go.
Everything is so lovely right now. Family, friends, church, the weather is even not too shabby. lol. Flowers have blossomed even in the hail storm. Pretty strong soil & flower if you ask me.
For some teeny tiny reason though,... SOMETHING is not "finished" with me at my church. And I cannot leave. And constantly joining things probably isn't going to help. Or maybe that's what the plan is?
I'm beginning a Connections group at my house for single women only, beginning Jan 31. I'm very excited about it! Most of the women attending have been hurt by their previous loved one (husband). So we are all deeply connected. And as well deeply rooted in the truth and have an utmost passion for Christ! Most of us met in Divorce Care, another absolutely fantastic ministry. Ron and Glenda, I couldn't ask for better leaders and role models.
I had taken 3 entire 13-week sessions of DC, and now know in my heart without a doubt I'm ready to move onto something new, so last night was our first Choir meeting of the year. Choir is about to start up and I couldn't be more excited to be in this ministry as well! God is good.
So although things aren't done here, I will still someday have that opportunity again in LA. So in order of importance, Faith, Family & Work I'm absolutely clear on making this decision.
There are such things as plane travel and the stay can always be short term!
The future is a pretty amazing thing.
This is the Edge Service (3rd service), Andrew being in the middle. I plan on Dillon taking guitar lessons from him soon. Talented kid. Very amazing ministry! Totally amazing people!
