Jenni. While you know this isn’t a surprise, what’s next certainly is a mystery. Godspeed to you and Brian as you walk this thru. Prayers abound.

I don’t know what I can add that my lovely wife just said. Sorry we’re late to the (comment) dance. We are trusting amazing things are ahead for the Clayvilles and you will press in close to the Lord in this time of both uncertainty and opportunity.

I’m just now getting around to commenting.

I want you to know I’m praying for you. I’ve left 2 church staff positions – one by my choice, one not. It was a budget thing – they couldn’t afford me anymore. I know that’s different than what you are going through.

Either way it’s hard, it sucks, it can be confusing and painful and frustrating. I pray that God shows Himself strong in your life. You’re amazing.

Oh sweet girl~ I am sorry I have not seen this until now! I’ve been a slacker with blogs.

You and I are on such the same path even though the means was different– our attachment to our church died with our pastor in March; and I can tell you that God is moving huge mountains and revealing a plan for us that BLOWS US AWAY. He’ll do the same for you.

The song that has been going through my head over and over the last few month’s has been Britt Nicole’s “Walk on the Water.” The lyrics below sum it up for sure–

You look around
and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder

What if I’m overtaken
What if I never make it
What if no one’s there?
Will you hear my prayer?

When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that He
won’t let you go

[Chorus:]
So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities
Try to hold to you

But You know you’re made for more
So don’t be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you
Can walk on the water too

So get out
And let your fear
fall to the ground
No time to waste
don’t wait
and don’t you turn
around and miss out
Everything you were made for
Gotta be, I know you’re not sure
So you play it safe
Try to run away

If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won’t let you go

Will be in prayer for you and your precious family. Send me your address when you get a chance ~so I can send you something, not stalk you…hahahaha

I absolutely agree with you in this. I wish it could have been done a bit differently. I’m not sure if our friendship is over forever… but we’re definitely taking a hiatus right now.

As much as I wish this were more of a Paul/Barnabas situation, I’m not really sure it is. I think the reason the congregation has been given “vague” information is because my old pastor doesn’t WANT them to know what the vision differences are (I’m not sure it will reflect well on him).

I honestly don’t have an issue with people knowing… but I’ve been asked to reveal very little, hence the lack of details in this post.

If anyone has been hurt in this whole situation, it has been the congregation. But God is the ultimate Healer… and thru Him, all things are possible.

I love your insight, Arthur. Thanks for your comments!!!
