His Will, not Mine.

After months of praying and weeks of talking things over with the best mentor ever (Genesis), and asking many people to pray about this  I finally did what I never thought I'd do in a million years.

I left Green Room.

I want to make it well known to everyone that Green Room has been an amazing place for me to grow and develop in my walk with Christ, and the past 3 years have not only been filled with God but also with the amazing relationships that come out of that.

I also want everyone to realize this was not a "I woke up randomly and decided to leave" decision.  This has been prayed about by many people, and it wasn't an easy place to land.  To be honest it was quite scary, and days later occasionally I still have mini freak outs of "Oh shoot what am I supposed to do next? Did I just make the biggest mistake of my life?"  God keeps reassuring me that I am on His path, but nonetheless the human that is me is still worrying occasionally.

So why did I leave?

I stretch myself far too thin far too often, and as I was looking at next fall I realized I had many things God was calling me to do, and I also had many obligations to fill with work and school.  With that in mind I came to the conclusion that I owed Green Room 100% of myself, and without a doubt there was no way I could give that much of me and still fill what God was calling me to do.

I was met with an amazing amount of support from all of the leadership within Green Room after announcing my decision, and more than anything that support and love made everything that God had been telling me reconfirmed.  On the other side of things I have found a church that I want to call home for years to come past my graduation of college, and from there too I was met with an overwhelming amount of support and welcomes.

Leaving is bittersweet. This is a huge transition year for Green Room, and I would have loved to been apart of that, and I fully planned on being apart of that.  However this is one of those times where my plan and God's plan were not the same, and as scary as it was I had to place His plan above mine not only for myself, but for Green Room too.

I am following what God has called me to do in a completely blind way.  I have no idea what comes next, and I have a lot of growing to do over the next year as I truly let God lead my life in a way I have never done before.  

To everyone that has touched my life because of Green Room: Thank You, I would not have the strength and faith that I have in God today without every single one of you.

I am so excited about what God is doing in my life, and I'm excited because I know He is doing spectacular things with Green Room as well.   Our paths may be different, but our goal is the same:  To grow God's kingdom.

Once again the love and support from every side, has been amazing.  I'm so blessed to have met so many great God-filled people along the way, and to know I will keep meeting great people is a huge blessing.  This is totally a God thing, and I hope that shines through in all of this.  None of this is by accident, this is all His plan, and therefore only good can come out of it.

"When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown faith is knowing one of two things will happen.  There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly"

God Bless.
