Maybe you're finding yourself in a trying season this year. Maybe it's like mine, where you're grieving the departure of friends or colleagues. Maybe you're grieving the death of a dream of some kind, or an unwanted shift in focus, or something you've been praying for that isn't coming to fruition. Maybe you're leaving the field, but it's the last thing you want to do. I encourage you, dear friends- grieve these things. Feel them deeply. Let them shape you. But also- lean into where God is clearly moving around you.
