Three years ago today, I stood up in front of a church of 600+ in attendance and resigned from my position as minister to children. What an overwhelming, humbling, humiliating, and difficult experience that started the healing process. Three years later, I am still praying about lots of concerns, and we are still working through the healing process. However, Amy and I are very much in love and our friendship is deeper than ever before. Only God can do something like that. We sure don't take the credit for it.
We both still have concerns and a "wish" list of what we would like to see happen in our life, but overall we are grateful and seeing God's hand at work. I still have a long way to go, but I hope and pray that I have allowed God to have His way with my heart and life to this point. I don't want to stop abiding in Him, stop growing, stop maturing, or stop seeking Him and His wisdom.

Philippians 1:3-6,The Message (MSG)
Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.
