Heart Trouble
I am currently experiencing heart trouble. Not the physical kind (Thank you, Lord), but the emotional kind. I found out yesterday that our Pastor of Children's Ministry is being "let go", a seemingly nice way of saying he's being canned. Now, I don't know WHAT the Board was thinking, but Tim has been here for almost 10 years. Unless he has done something illegal or immoral (and I'd be willing to bet he hasn't), they had no right to terminate his employment the way they did. He was told this past week, and his last Sunday is June 28. The kids in that church adore him and his wife, Diane. I can't begin to imagine what the Sunday School teachers are feeling - they are much closer to them than I, and I feel like I've been kicked in the teeth. I guess this is something that will have to work itself out, but I don't see how. Tim is on facebook, and his status said "God DID NOT say, 'What the heck just happened here?' I know I can trust God no matter what!!!!! Still!" I feel blessed to know these people, and I pray that God will grant them His peace until He reveals His plan for their lives. Selfishly, I hope that His plan keeps them here in the area because I'd love to be involved in their ministry. Okay, I'm done ranting - for now.

Hey Susie B, just noticed your new post! We got a letter yesterday about these new changes and it said that they both resigned. ? I was shocked, too, but know that the Lord is working in all of this. Although it's hard to understand and figure out, there are always two sides to every story and I think the best thing we can do for everyone involved, is to PRAY. What do you think? Let's do it!
Hey Sue, in response to my last comment on your post...well, Jeff and I went to the Family Ministry meeting this morning and John revealed that he was incorrect in saying that they resigned. His words were "I thought what I wrote was true with my whole heart, but now I know it was not true. I have not rec'd a letter of resignation from either Tim or Diane, and I apologize for any error made on my part to make you think that." After much talk, it was later revealed that there was no position for Tim or Diane once the new ministry "team" (for lack of a better word) takes place.
It was a very hostile environment there for a while, but I'm still holding to the thing I said last time, Let's Pray!
I'm spent--the meeting drained me, but I just wanted to clarify since I did write about what I understood as them resigning.
