dear old union,

yesterday was my last official day with you.
sure, we will be back to visit
but officially, tim & i have to move on up here.
we don't want to...
the idea of finding a new church "home" breaks our heart
because to us, you were the church
that taught us to really love God's church.
through some struggle,
but mostly joy,
highs and lows-
we learned what it means to serve the church.
we learned that people come and go
but God chooses to work, to move, to nuture within
and the church is His vessel to the world.
thank you to people who loved me
when i myself didn't deserve it.
none of us is perfect....
of course, that idea is encompassed by Grace.

Grace is perfect
and i am thankful for all of it.
