Wow, that's exactly where I have been over the past few months. I've really been wrestling with "signing on" with the church for another season of ministry. All my reasons for wanting to walk away were based on things that happened in the past, but, through circumstances and the voices of others, I continually felt God's undeniable pull to stay put. That's what I have done. Now I must continue the hard work of daily giving everything over to God so that His work can be done. Thanks for sharing, James. “…much of my hesitation was related to past experience, not the foundation that God would provide joy and peace no matter the circumstance.”
