Throughout the last month and a half or so, as I came to the decision of resigning, I turned to a number of trusted friends and counselors to share what I was thinking and sensing in my heart was to be my next step. I have been blessed with relationships with men of God that I can trust for good direction.
What a blessing that the first person I would turn to would be my own father. I could probably write a post on his role in this decision (and probably will), but for now let me say that I'm so thankful to have a loving father that gives me godly advice and gracious love.
Several other pastors and leaders were kind enough to talk with me and help me gain a better perspective of my future. In times of transition it is always good to turn to godly influences and get their thoughts and advice. Here's the thing: sometimes they contradict one another, because they're human. But in the conversations you allow God to speak to you through his people. That is the benefit. He uses the collection of voices to speak to you. God speaks to us through His word, His people, and His Holy Spirit.
If you're facing transition right now don't do it in silence. Find trusted, godly friends and counselors to help you.

Truly Ben I am happy you have a dad that can help you through those times. I am greatful that without the same kind of influence the Lord always seems to bring someone in my life who can help me with advice when needed. Good luck with your transition. Will be praying for you and the family.
