The shock of my pastor leaving has given me a new insight into the importance church has in my life.  I claim a lot of doubt, but the idea of someone new shaking things up has proven to me how much I truly care.

I have more core beliefs than I have imagined recently.  Sometimes it takes a big change to shake you up and see what has always been there.  I have a grasp on what I feel is important for me and my family in church.  I have faith in myself and the leadership of my church to continue pushing my family in the right direction.
