It’s Official

It is official.  I have resigned my position as Lead Pastor at the church.  That was one of the hardest and saddest decisions I have ever made.  But it is the right decision for the church.

I may post my resignation letter at some point, but not today.

Now I don’t know logistically what will happen.  I have no idea where I will be living or working as of this fall.  

Anyway, today is just a day to be sad.  I am mostly sad because of the damage I have done to people I love and the church I love.  And I am also saddened by the shattered dreams of what could have been for me.  That is the selfish part.  I have no doubt the church will survive and even thrive — I believe that to my core.  Jesus Christ is building His church, and the gates of hell will never prevail against it.  But I am sad that I will not be able to contribute to it the way I hoped.

That’s all I’ve got for today.
