It wasn't mentioned yesterday, but I missed Matt. Several people have asked me how I'm doing, and I think that it's hard to express. For those of you new to the site Matt is a good friend of mine that helped launch Severn River Church. He resigned this month and is pursuing his next steps of faith. It affects me with feelings of loneliness in that I feel like so much more is dependent on me. It affects me with feelings of hope, because I believe it was neccessary for us to grow. In some Divine Arithmetic God needed to subtract before he could multiply. And I am personally evaluating myself through new lenses of experience to become a better leader. So that's kinda how it is. That's how I'm doing I guess. Overall the biggest lesson is that we were created by God for union not separation, so it is always painful to go through these things.
I want to thank the church. They have been very supportive over the last couple weeks through this season. And their optimism is inspiring.
