So this week was the last week I'll be leading worship at Salem Vineyard Church. Deep Sigh. It has been a very internally emotional experience for me. Joanie and I are so excited to start East Valley Vineyard, but at the same time we have a deep love for our community in Salem. During worship on Sunday I found myself more than once getting choked up as I thought about leaving this place, and as I saw people connecting during worship. SVC has been an oasis for my family, for the last 8 years we have served and poured our time and lives into that fellowship, and have found God in new and deeper ways. We have been privileged to serve there. We have seen so many people step out and into His calling on their lives. I am amazed and humbled. On the drive home I just completely broke down. It was so good to just cry before God. At first I tried to hold it in, and felt God speaking to my heart, "I made you to be soft, I know what you are feeling, it's alright." So healthy, a good cry once in a while. I was broken thinking about how much I love that place and people, how much God loves them. Aaahhhhh, another deep sigh. :)
We love you Salem Vineyard!
