Goodbyes

Yesterday was my last day on staff at Mt. Horeb. Worship at the contemporary service was the most powerful it has ever been, and it was nice to pull back from the mic and hear so many voices singing to Jesus with joy and adoration. The church was extremely gracious to Ferris and me and gave us a gift of two nights at the Indigo Inn in Charleston. We are looking forward to the chance to take a little mini-vacation sometime this fall.
After the serice, the youth threw us a going away party at the lake. So many people showed up, and we felt very loved and appreciated. Words cannot express how much we will miss our Mt. Horeb family, especially our friends in the youth ministry. These three years have been special to us, and I can't wait to hear reports about the new and greater things that God does in Lexington through you.
I have to say that growing up in the church, most of the time when I have seen people leave, one or both parties ends up making things difficult and it can get messy. Thankfully, the Lord has blessed us with a church that is excited about the new steps God is calling me and Ferris to take. I am also glad that God gave me the grace to finish well. This was such an encouraging experience for me. Now I am looking forward and am about to explode with enthusiam for all that awaits in Charlotte at Elevation! Less than two weeks!

Right on, Brother. We already miss you at Mt. Horeb, but we're excited for Elevation and what God will do there with you on staff.
