The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalms 32:8
We really do serve a God who guides us and watches over us and even better, scripture tells us “…along the BEST pathways.” I am so reminded of God’s love and goodness for His people, that He desires and has the best for them while being right there beside them along the whole journey. I have seen this in my own life, and I hope you have seen this in yours.
8 years ago, I moved all the way to British Columbia from Ontario. This was a big move for me. It was scary but through the move I trusted that God's plan was best and He was guiding me on His path. God was good to me, He knew what I needed and in that season of life He knew that I needed to be here at CLA. So I found my way here and after two years of calling CLA home, God opened up doors for me to work here. I said yes and have had the great honour and privilege of pastoring right here at Rev for the past 6 years. Saying yes to being here, leading at CLA, getting to know all current students, former students, all parents and leaders, coworkers and this community was one of the best decisions I ever could have made. I am full of gratitude that this was part of the path God had for me.
Psalms 32:8 is a scripture that has been on repeat in my head this week as my husband Nathan and I with heavy hearts announce to students, leaders and our church that we are stepping down from our roles as Middle School Pastor and CLA Tech Director this August. God is guiding us, and the path that He has us on is taking us to Nova Scotia.
Though this move comes with so many emotions, we are trusting once again in God’s promise—that He will guide us along the best path, advise us, and watch over us. Just as He led us here years ago, we believe He is leading us now.
We are so incredibly thankful for the years spent here at CLA—this church, for Pastor Derrick, the staff, this community, these students, leaders, parents, and friends —you have deeply impacted our lives, and we will carry these memories with us always.
As we step into this next chapter, please know how much we love you, how grateful we are, and how confident we are that God is still doing great things here at CLA and with the students in this church.
Be encouraged church, the future is bright. God is on the move at Rev. He is guiding hundreds of students in this church on the BEST paths which I know will impact this church and the kingdom of God in tremendous ways.
