A time of transition...

  Change has never been easy for me. If I were to be truly honest with myself I would say that I don't really like change, in fact I often like things just the way they are. Change disrupts my comfort and my contentment.  However, things are always changing. Right now, I have come to a season in my life where big changes are starting to take place and where decisions are starting to be made which are going to affect the rest of my life, however long that may be.
  I will admit I have become too comfortable here at LCU and it is time for me to move on. I am currently in the process of transitioning out of a ministry position that I love. Making a transition from one thing to another is hard. I really love being here at school and working with Junior Quest, but the time is coming for this season in my life to end. I am really going to miss the kids and the volunteers, but I know that God is going to continue to do great things through that ministry and the leaders, as long they continue to be obedient to the Lord.
"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you  and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11).
  I am starting to prepare myself to leave LCU and it looks like there is going to be a long hard road ahead of me. I am going to be put into uncomfortable positions and I am going to be discontent, but the Lord is my strength and I put my trust in Him.
