I believe that the Lord has different "chapters" for us in our life: as we go from our high school, to college, to our first job, our first teaching assignment, our first coaching assignment. When I was led to move to Wyoming, this was another chapter. When I was led to be the FCA area representative for the Basin, this was another. Then the move, the building of our home, the fund raising... each a chapter. After several conversations with different people, starting back last October, I was led to believe that perhaps the Lord had another chapter for me. We placed our home on the market to see if our house would sell, and it did. After some real intrinsic searching and looking at the chapter we are in at this moment, we believe that the next chapter is to move back to Arkansas. My mother is 84 years old and is finding life alone is more of a challenge and our daughter and her family who living there, we only get to see once a year, if we are lucky. I really enjoy where I currently live and I enjoy being part of this ministry. This has not been an easy choice for me, or for DeLee.
This is not Gary's ministry, but the Lord's. So, it needs to continue. Members of the Big Horn Basin FCA board and Coach Ernie Mecca from Thermopolis will be in contact with the various coaches and huddles in the area to encourage them and the ministry that will continue to take place. Please continue to pray for the ministry in this area and what God would have for the future of FCA in the Big Horn Basin.
