Well, I don't know of a creative, entertaining way of saying this, so I'll just say it - I resigned my position at the church yesterday in order to pursue the church planting thing. It was a long, pretty emotional day. I was embraced warmly by numerous people after I made the announcement, which meant a lot to me. I think my decision to go in a church planting direction as opposed to starting something within our own church structure was confirmed in a weird sort of way yesterday - some of the people who were excited about me going in a new direction seemed relieved that
someone was willing to move into peoples' lives with the gospel . . . someone other than them, that is. Anyway, I'm tired from the experience, but grateful for the response.
Now all I need to do is attend to a few minor details: where to plant, when to plant, who to plant with, and how to pay the bills. I would appreciate your prayers for me and Michelle as we transition out over the next six or seven weeks.
