Today was probably the hardest day in my ministry career.  After 5-1/2 years in Nederland, we are leaving.  At the conclusion of this morning’s service I shared with the congregation that God was leading me to another place of ministry.  It is not always easy or comfortable to follow the will of God but it must be done.  In these years at Nederland we have formed many great relationships with our church family.  We have had many great times together and have also endured hard times together.  It is through times, good and bad, that we have grown closer together.  So, to part ways is difficult but we know that God has His hand in it.

I will write more about the transition and the resignation process in the days to come.
