That verse in 2 Corinthians has become one of my favorites..."Therefore, anyone in Christ is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" Sometimes, though, it becomes a little hard to swallow. That "new" part of being a follower of Christ - it isn't a one time thing. God is continually changing our lives! So many changes are happening in our lives right now. A new baby has been quite an adjustment, yet every sacrifice has been rewarded with joy beyond our wildest dreams! Last night our church elected a new pastor. I am confident that God is in control of this situation, and I believe that the new pastor will be wonderful for our church. But I couldn't hold back the tears as we prayed over him. Two of my best friends in the world - two people who were pivotal in my salvation and growth as a Christian - are leaving us and moving to Florida. I know God has big things for them. I know God has big things for us, too. Joy beyond our wildest dreams! But I will miss them SO much. Scott and Kirsten, I love you!!! On top of that, the principal I have worked with for 10 years in Columbus Public Schools is leaving our school to work at another elementary that really needs her. I know she will do great things for the children and families at Scottwood, but Woodcrest will miss her dearly! Here is Andrew making a new friend. if he can do it, then I guess I can, too!
