When Peace Like a Raging River
Announcing the decision of our resignation to the The Rock Church was difficult.
But it was not nearly as difficult as telling the individuals that we chose to tell the week before. I know I run the risk with this post of hurting the feelings of those we didn’t tell but the truth is that we couldn’t personally meet with everyone. But there were a few folks that deserved to hear it from us with the intimacy that only a tearful explanation can offer.
I dreaded each and every meeting. It was like a brake up and I/we felt horrible each and every time. At the end of the week I literally felt as if I’d gone 5 rounds in the octagon.
I’m not sure if there’s much of a lesson here other than this: sometimes God’s peace doesn’t feel very peaceful.
For what it’s worth the most difficult conversation Michelle and I had was with our daughters. Never want to do that again!
