Transitions

Life is full of transitions. Those are the hardest times and the times where you need the most love and prayer. There is actually an article on the right column about how important transitions are to singles ministry.

Our singles pastor will be leaving at the end of the month. The singles and post-college ministries find themselves flung into a time of transition. I ask for prayer. Here are the scripture verses I have been meditating on during this stressful time.

Phillipians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Transitions are great times to boldly demonstrate your faith. You've all been prepared for just these very moments!! I can't wait to hear about the inevitable trials and triumphs that lie ahead! You all are being prepared...I'm excited for the ministry!
