Well, I guess I can’t avoid writing this any longer. For quite awhile now I have been wondering if it were time for me to leave Amor Ministries. I went back and forth on the issue, so much so I was making myself just a little crazy. At the end of spring I finally came to the conclusion that it was time for me to leave. I did not want to leave the ministry during a busy time of the year so I decided that I would leave at the end of our summer season. Well, that time has come. As I write this I have three days left of work with Amor. I have been spending entirely too much time away from my family and it seems like this is best for all of us.
Jackie and I have decided to move back to El Paso. Shortly after I made the decision to leave the ministry she was offered her old job back with a raise. So since June 10th she has been living in El Paso. That has made for a difficult summer as we have missed each other very much. There have be times that I traveled to Texas or she to Arizona so it has not been all summer long but I will be happy when we are living under the same roof again.
We bought a new house in mid July, and moved both Jackie a Danielle in. We used just about any down time I had to move our belongings into the house and it has started to feel like it is our home.
This has probably been one of the toughest decisions I have ever made. The work I have been doing with Amor Ministries has impacted my life in such a profound way it has become entangled with my heart and the separation is painful. There are so many people that I have met over the years that I can only imagine how much I will miss. The organization itself, the people who run it, well, I just can’t find the words that express my feelings and gratitude about the way you have impacted my life. Thank you all.
I don’t know where God is leading me at this time in my life. I am currently looking for work. I do however, trust that God will provide. He has proved that much to me over and over again. So as we move on into another season of life. I place my trust God and know that he still is not done with me. Where he is leading I will follow.
