Thinking of Transitions

It has been about a year since my family and I began to seriously feel it was time to make a change in our church home. We had been attending that congregation for about 14 years. I wont get into the reasons we began to consider this and ultimately chose to become a part of another church family but I may address some of this in another post sometime.

We made the transition to that church family about a year after we were married. No kids and still looking for a place to anchor ourselves after making the move from the temporary college life to permanent resident married life. I remember a lot of feelings and new beginnings with that moved. It was almost like life started over.

I had some skill and a music background which was put to use. While it was nice to be of service it took me away from my family and it was a challenge to worship with the responsibility of leading the worship. When my first child was born my wife ended up sitting by herself working with my son during the worship. I decided I needed to have less of a leadership role and more of a family role. I still led worship once and a while but it was nice to sit with my family.

I feel like I'm stopping in the middle of a thought but I may continue this later tonight. For now I'm going to spend some time with my kids.
