This year’s Christmas Formal was a bit different than years past. We had food and a gift exchange game, but we ended the night honoring Richard and saying good-bye. The Lord has slowly been leading us into a new season and that includes stepping down from leading youth at Acts. We have loved every minute with these kids and even though we won’t see them regularly at youth on Wednesdays, we know we will still see them around as they have become like family to us.
Since June we have been listening and obeying what the Lord was asking us to do...those baby steps seemed fun and exciting and simple, but then we were faced with the decision to keep obeying when it gets hard. We love Acts! The pastors there married us. All 4 boys were baptized there. Baylee and Richard and I all met Holy Spirit there. Richard and I began leading youth together there. We love Acts! But we both know when the Lord says something it is better, and easier in the long run, to obey Him... even when it hurts and it’s change and it’s scary...obey. So we did.
We are still not clear on the whole picture. We are waiting on the Lord to give us the next piece in the puzzle to know where we go from here. One thing is certain, however, there is still lots of Kingdom work to be done and we are honored to be used by Him in whatever ways He sees fit!
