i am eventually going to leave greenville. it definately will not be today but down the road within the next few months it will be inevitable that jenny and i will pack up the stuff in our two bedroom apartment to move on to our next appointment.
but what hurts most about is the people that will be hurt, saddened and missed. i think for me that is one of the hardest things about leaving a church. the idea that you might be letting someone down. i know i cant live life always wondering what people will think about one of my decisions and how that will effect them in the direct or even distant future. it happens, we consider the feelings of others. it is apart of human nature to want to win approval of your peers, to make people happy and not to have anybody affected by your decisions.
we have all been let down by someone in our lives. it will happen. i have been let down by other pastors, my parents, my wife, my friends. it will happen. but when i have been let down it has eventually made me stronger, wiser, hopeful and willing.
what is best for God needs to be considered. if you are letting someone down when God's best is at hand then it will all be worked out.
