What an awesome move of God we had tonight in our service here at home! It's been really tough on all of us since Bro. Elms resigned our awesome church, and I was dreading being in service today and tonight. Not because I didn't want to be with everyone, but it's hard leaving the people you love so much! I couldn't hardly talk to anyone, because my emotions have been so upset. But, thank the Lord, HE intervened tonight and I feel some better. I don't know about anyone else, but when you have loved a group of people as deeply as we have, and they have loved you, it's terrible having to tell them goodbye!! The only way I can describe how I have felt is, "I have hurt like I had just lost my parents", and it hasn't been easy. Lest anyone would think that I am unhappy about our "move", please be assured that I'm not unhappy about the "will of God" for our lives. I know He is leading us and we are following to the best of our ability. I just never knew it would hurt this bad. Thank you all for praying for us. It means everything to know you care.
Life Tabernacle Saints, you are wonderful people, and we love you more than we can say. I know it's hard to lose your Pastor, but God has you in His hands and He will hold you, and guide you to another Pastor who will lead you on in revival and the promises that have been given our church. We will rejoice whenever we hear of great things happening at "home". I wish I could wrap you all in my arms and comfort you, and you me, but know I will always "hold you in my heart". Thank you for the praise and worship tonight. It helped me get through today. I love you!

Thank you, Jerry Ann! All of your words means so much. You are a strength to me. Love you!
Go ahead and cry.
Go ahead and be sad.
Go ahead and grieve.
It will help this part of your life-changing event to be complete. It's all part of the change.
It will pass - I know you know it will.
Once it does, then you can go on with your new life.
The joy will come as you begin your new work for the Lord.
I hope this makes sense. It's in my head and hard to write out.
Here's a *hug* from me, too.
Love and prayers!
