"i can't believe you're leaving me"

kenny said that to me almost exactly two years ago when i graduated from the youth group and, instead of staying on as staff, moved up to the college ministry. but now i am saying it back to him. wednesday night pastor announced that kenny has resigned as youth pastor. kenny did get to tell us staff first which was nice to have a little bit of warning but it was very unexpected. i understand that when God tells us to do something, we must follow and i know God has wonderful things in store for kenny, julie, and kate but i really can't imagine kenny and julie not being at FWC. they have been absolutely wonderful role models in my life and helped me find my "home away from home." thankfully they will still be here in murfreesboro but as a professional courtesy to whoever comes on as youth pastor, they will no longer attend family worship center unless God brings them back. we are all hoping for a smooth transition. kenny hopes that we will stay on as staff. i definitely intend to pray about it. it all still feels so surreal. one more month...
