MOVE ON--The End

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven-Ecc 3:1

“I think it happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. And so you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.” ― Nicholas Sparks

As I read this quote it rang true as I felt a kindred spark in my heart. I believe that this is just where I am in my life right now and this quote triggered a flood of memories, I became somewhat nostalgic...I started thinking about the day I got saved and all the people that were there. I remembered all the times we all prayed together and laughed together, and cried together. I went through some of the toughest times, and had some of the happiest moments of my life with these people and I love them just as much today as I did then. 

My life has taken a new direction, and most of these people no longer agree with it, and I have come to a place where that's ok. I'm so grateful to my Pastors for all the time and prayer that they invested in me; I could never repay them for all the wisdom I gained while under their tutelage and care. My life will never be the same because of them, I am a MUCH better person because of them. They will always have my utmost respect and unconditional love. My only regret is that we have allowed our differences to separate us. But, nevertheless, they remain in my heart and I will NEVER forget what they did in my life. 

I am moving forward with my life and I cherish the memories that I have, not only of my Pastors but of  everyone; you were and will always remain family to me. I love you all but I am going forward... I hope that you can and will do the same. Just because I have walked away does not mean that I no longer love, respect, or appreciate you and the things that you have done in my life...it simply means that my life is taking a new direction and that season in my life is over. My feelings and memories toward you remain the same...I cherish each one! 

I also want to ask you to forgive my foolishness as I have acted out in emotion...We have all found ourselves casting stones back and forth and you have my word that it will not happen again....so please forgive my humanity. I admire everything that you do for this community and God's Kingdom and I wish you the best in your life and your pursuit to reach the lost. I, too, have a vision to reach the lost and I will move forward with that vision and I will continue to pray for your ministry... I hope that you will return the favor!

Again, thank you and I love you--The End

In Christ,
