It is Tough

One of the most difficult things Becky & I have had to do in 26 years of ministry is what we did Sunday. When we have poured 7 years of our life into people and we have to tell them we are leaving it is tough! But when God says I want you elsewhere it is right to follow God. Becky & I have resigned from 3 churches when God moved us. Yesterday was by far the hardest. If we could keep our composure it would help, but those who know us know that we cry often. Yesterday was one of those time. Even though we know without a shadow of doubt we are following God's will it is tough when we love the people and they love us. It has been a 7 year love affair and "breaking up it is hard to do". We told our beloved Southside people yesterday that we have accepted a call to a church in Oklahoma. We thank God for the opportunity and the challenge ahead.
