Caught in the Whirlwind
This summer had been super busy for us. We took our annual vacation to the lake with my parents in early May. We then came home for a few days rest and headed out to the wonderful world of Salt Lake City, Utah with Dan's parents. Now we are home. It has been great, but we have so much to catch up on. In the midst of all of this our church pastor decided it was time for him to step down. Last Sunday, he formally resigned. Dan has been named interim pastor, and the deacons met and presented the idea to the church for Dan to be the candidate. Our church family is still in shock. Pastor Zolninger has been here for almost twelve years. He's the only pastor that some in our church have ever known. Change is never an easy process. Unfortunately it comes and goes as it pleases. For now, Dan and I are in the middle. We want what God wants for our lives and what our church people feel is best. For know, we are going round and round in the whirlwind and trying to keep the chaos from spreading.

We will be praying for this situation. It is never easy for people to have change, especially in churches. It is always Christians that seem to have problems with change. Change can be good. Change helps us grow. We have to remember that God has a plan and purpose for everything. Keep me posted on how it is going.
You know I'm praying.... Love you.
Wow! Crazy! Hopefully it will be a smooth transition. We haven't exactly had the smoothest of transitions at our church... :(
Change is def not easy for any church, though!
Wow, we will be praying for you too! Change is so hard, especially in the pastoral position!
