one more tear

Well this day that some of us has been dreading has finally come. Today we said goodbye to our beloved pastor and his better half our dear sister Angie and their family. I have come to a better understanding of how majestic our God is and how He has everything to a plan for our good. Through Brad and Angie I have developed a deeper relationship with Christ and have done some things for the kingdom I thought I could never do. Angie has been such a wonderful influence in my life. I will truly miss her passion for Christ each time I encountered her. She truely inspires me to reach deeper and deeper into that relationship. Although our paths may not cross that frequently this side of heaven, I know she will one day be praising the Lord with me once again. I can not wait though to see the changes the Lord has in store. He is most definitely the master planner and I can not wait to see the way things will unfold and the lives that are to be touched. One of my favorite quotes is "that which does not kill us will make us stronger" Well, I hate to see the change of a pastor. In a way, its unfamiliar territory for me. I have never gone through this type of change before in my life. Yet I know that there are great things to be in store for not only my but for the church as well as for Brad and Angie and the girls. In a sense I refuse to say goodbye. Not only because I suck at it, but because goodbye seems so permanent. I will close and say.... until next time my dear friend.
