Times of transition are hard -- but in my experience, God is always in them. I was reminded of it this morning, briefly discussing another pastor's transition with him. One of my own most distressing periods was when my ministry "probation", as we call it, came to an end, and the future was unknown. This period ended like this: another minister got into his car / automobile one morning, slumped forwards onto the horn, and left this world in rather classic fashion, with his horn blowing. That was the beginning of a long and fruitful ministry for me. OBSERVATION: And it was the one thing I was not pursuing or planning. The minister was Rev. Ron Aston, who laid a very good foundation for me and for us to build on.
