How about if we start with the definition of Transition: The process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another; to undergo or cause to undergo a process or period of transition.
Susan and I are in that place of transition. For those of you who are not intimately aware of our lives, you wouldn’t know that we just did the most difficult thing that God has ever asked us to do and that was to communicate to our most precious church family that God has given us a new assignment. As of December 19, 2011 we will be leaving the family that we have poured our lives into for the last 32 years and moving to work with a new family called Seacoast in the community of Irmo, SC. It has been a bittersweet experience because as any of you who know us know, we are intensely loyal to family and friends.
We have spent the last 32 years of our lives pouring into the folks in the West Milford, Tri-State area and enjoyed every minute of it. In fact, I had told the Lord that I would with joy spend the rest of my life living to love and serve this family. During the last almost 10 years we have also had the opportunity to serve in the state of South Carolina through Aprecis Group Leadership Services, our consulting firm. During that time I came in contact with the Seacoast Church in Irmo and loved their pastor and the church movement as well.
Just recently I was invited to “put my name in the hat” when the pastor was going to move into a regional oversight position. Susan and I didn’t want to “say no” if the Lord was wanting to do something different in our lives, therefore we said yes, let our names stand. Then the process began to move forward… Stay tuned to my next blog to see what happened next…
