For the past 3 months I have been giving serious thought and prayer to the idea of moving. I have come to the point in my life where moving has no appeal. In my youth the grass always looked greener on the other side of the fence. Now it just looks like grass.
Despite this lack of passion for the adventure of a move I have increasingly been hearing the leading of God's Spirit to go to work with another church. It has been a quiet voice but a persistent one. I have a great love for the church I have partnered with for the the past 5 years. We have gone through many battles together. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in this enterprise called church and God has lead us into a growth of our understanding of His will and of a understanding of this world that we are called to transform with the gospel of Jesus. God has blessed me with wonderful elders during my time in San Diego. A preacher could not ask for better.
Despite my love for this church and my deep relationships with many in this church, Julie and I have decided to leave and hope to enter a new ministry with the Glendale Church of Christ in the Los Angeles area. I keep praying that the Lord will give me wisdom and faith to do good in this time of transition.
If you would have a heart to, I would ask you to pray for us also.
