Letting go

During our class time last night at church, Steven and I made the announcement that we would no longer be the teachers of the children's class. We shed lots of tears. Those young people are so incredibly special to us. But as much as it breaks my heart to let them go, I know they will be fine. They are all so annointed and blessed. I have tremendous hopes for each of them. I look forward to the future when I will hear great things out of each one. I know God has a plan for all of us, and I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that He will continue to pour out His blessings over this amazing class. I am so proud to have been a part of it. They taught me more than I could have ever taught them. Steven and I will teach the class until they find someone else. We do not want these kids to be left without a class or somewhere to go. Last night, we had 16 kids in attendance. I started with 4! It is awesome what God has done. He has truly blessed us.

We also explained to Pastor Skipper that we feel the call of the Lord leading us in a different direction. We are not sure what God has in mind, but He knows. It is finally time for us to trust Him. We have told Him "no" so many times before. It is time for us to "just let go and let God". We have faith that He will lead us and place us where He wants us. We place our family in His hands.
