A New Chapter

Well this week has been a bit crazy. As you all know the economy of our country is the pits right now and unfortunately it has finally caught up with our church. Because of this I was laid off from Foothills this week. Now, I know some of you were already aware of this prior to reading this blog and I want to squelch any roomers that may be flying around:
*No, I didn't loose my job because of my health. (And by the way I am feeling a lot better.)
*No, It wasn't based on the fact that I hated my job or based on my performance. I loved my job and Foothills Community Church. I would do anything for this church and they know that.
*No, Greg and I don't have any issues. I love Greg and we are and will remain great friends.
When it came right down to it, my position was just no longer needed given the economical factors and I happened to be the one to fill it.

So what does this mean for me and Rachel? Well, not knowing all the details, we really see God's hand in all this and believe he is working. We are open to God's leading and excited about seeing what God has in store as we begin this new chapter. You will still see us around Foothills for a while as we will continue to attend here and serve any way we can.

One thing I would ask of you is to be praying:
*Pray for Foothills. There is no doubt that the best days of this church are ahead.
*Pray for me and Rachel. As I said earlier, I know God is working and can't wait to see what he has next for us!

To God be the glory!
