A New Chapter

Well, this past week was one to remember - in a good way. I ended my ministry at First Baptist Mauldin (a kind and loving church, btw), and began my new ministry at SpringWell Church. The folks at SpringWell have been fantastic to work with and I really look forward to the journey we are going to take together.

When I started as Family Pastor at SpringWell, it ended a long journey with God in which he tested me and my family in ways that we sometimes couldn't understand. I hope to share my journey of the last several years with you here over time - and maybe it can help someone who is struggling to understand why life sometimes hurts so badly. The only thing I will share with you right now is this - embrace the struggle.

God has faithfully seen us through our "dark night of the soul" and now we have a new beginning. Honestly, there were days when we thought we would never get another chance. We had no hope. Today, I can say God delivered us. I also know that there will be more "struggles" in the future, but for now I am enjoying the mountaintop! I am really looking forward to writing this new chapter of our lives!
