I look back at my
Raytown congregation that, following my Russian tradition, gave me a blessing
for the journey that just begun. I still visit some of my members in the
hospitals, answering their e-mails and phone calls. I am patiently
waiting for God to show me the final destination of my transition. I am still
in limbo, but I know with all my heart that one day I will understand every
moment of my present context of transition as clear as I see my new plants. It
is too hot for planting, and I could see how this transition is tough on them
for the first two-three days, but what a joy when they start blooming, becoming
healthy and joyful again! All they need is patience and watering, the rest will
happen by itself. Transition sometimes is simply being.
I
feel good about what I accomplished in Raytown and with Paul I recite, “I am
confident of this: that the one who began a good work among you will bring it
to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6).

May your transition last as long as it needs to last, and be followed by more fruit than you can imagine!
