Four years ago this day I thought the final page had been written....the ministry team I had been a part of for nine years had been divided and seperated. At the time my heart was very torn. I knew that God was at work but could not begin to see how He was going to fix what had been. I sat there that day feeling very overwhelmed. Being nostalgic by nature my mind and heart were rushing back and forth from one memory to the next. Life changing memories. Some because of where they had taken us and some because of how they had shaped us. My heart wanted to cling to each one of those and to not let go....figuratively and physically. My best friend and her family moved away on this day four years ago...far away. My heart felt shattered and very ungrounded. What I couldnt see was that that chapter, while pivotal and necessary, was most certainly NOT the final chapter! God, as only He can, has allowed that team to grow independently, yet even more intertwined than imaginable. We may now be ministering in different states with 500 miles separating us our hearts have never more been joined. I truly believe that it was God that seperated us from ministering together so that we could each grow more dependent on Him and to allow out ministry to change and grow. I dont pretend to know what the next chapter will hold but I do believe that this book of our lives will be a thick one with many, many more chapters to come. My best friend moved away four years ago today. With her I have laughed and cried and everything in between. I love her with everything that I have to love with. I miss her terribly but I am so thankful that when God writes the story miles and time dont stand a chance!
