My blog has been very quiet lately, and it is because there have been lots of changes going on around here. We are fixing to move four and hours away to become youth pastors. We were youth pastors before and left lead to become senior pastors. We pastored one church for 10 months and then one for three years. We have loved it here at Culvert Springs. We have had a wonderful ministry here, and we are sad to leave. They will always hold a place in our heart.
We had felt God changing us and moving us on, but didn't know the direction. I hold told Steve some time back that it wouldn't surprise me if we became youth pastors again. We have loved working with the youth here at Culvert Springs.
So we got a call the week before spring break and we decided we would go up and preach to the youth. God worked it all out and had a wonderful visit with the pastor and church there in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. We knew at this point that we were going to be youth pastors there. Our hearts were immediately drawn there, and we didn't want to leave. So the pastor had us scheduled to come back and preach in the main service on a Sunday night. We had the best time. It was all God ordained.
We announced our resignation Sunday and it was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. We love the people here enough want God's best for them. It isn't us any more. We love them so much. Like I said before they hold a special place in our hearts. They have loved us and we have all learned from each other.
So we are beginning a new chapter in our lives. I am excited, scared and nervous. I know that God will walk with us on the new journey.
Please be praying for Culvert Springs as they are going through these changes of having to find a pastor and us on our new journey. Please pray that we have safe travels on Monday and that we all adjust to the move well.
