I write from the airspace between Boise and Denver. As I look down at all the snow I thank you, dear friends, for suggesting that I fly instead of drive my little Honda Fit over these passes. I am safe and snug in this high flying bus enjoying the snow from afar.
Thank you for an unforgettable decade of ministry. You have taught me so much - and I leave you a far wiser pastor than when I arrived. I hope you learned a few things with me, too. Watching your transformation has been a joy. I leave here confident that you are in a solid place to undertake your search, and I trust that God is preparing the next pastor to come and journey with you - just as God slowly prepared me to leave you to journey with the good people of Bethany.
Let love be your guide - keep letting your light shine - and don’t lose sight of who you are and why you are here. Be compassionate and kind - the world really needs that right now. May God bless you and keep you always.
Know that I love you and release you to the care of a God who loves you to infinity and back. You are in good hands.
And with this I conclude this blog. Blessings, dear ones, on your journey.
Traveling mercies and love,
Kim
We are blessed to have you in our lives. Stay connected as you can.
