No time, dear friends, to faint. It just could be that over the next hill
we'll be HOME!

We can't look at this from a natural standpoint like a secular business. If planting that church was the will of God for that pastor then that's what he should have done. If it is God's will for him to remain as shepherd then that's what he should do. It might be God's will for him to move on and let another take over based on "one plants, another waters." Only he can answer that question by seeking God's will.

Sis. Falla referenced a song "Over the Next Hill We'll Be Home." I heard that song recently. It's been out for about 30 years. Here are a couple of versions of it:

Thank you, Bro. Sam, for posting this beautiful song. It, like other songs
have much more meaning as we get closer to HOME! Have also loved a
song sung many years ago by Sis. Micky Mangun. "Long And Winding Road".

Life is a journey just as surely as those children traveling through the wilder-
ness. They grumbled and complained because that was what was in their
hearts. God, through the leadership of Moses would endeavor to lead them,
but as many today (even with so much better conditions in which to travel,
live and serve God), they still are not satisfied. Why! Because those bitter
waters they have pertaken of, have never been allowed to become sweet.

It's through the difficult times in my life, through the sorrowful times that
brought me to a place where HE brought sweetness. Taste and see that
the Lord is good, HIS mercy everlasting. Be thankful unto HIM and bless His
Name, for HE is SO GOOD, HIS mercy is everlasting and HIS truth endureth
unto ALL generations. The Bible tells us that GOD is IN the generation of
the righteous. Their rightousness is of me, saith the Lord. We have no right-
eousness in ourselves, lest we should boast. But HE saved us by the wash-
ing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost which HE shed on
us abundantly. Bless HIS Marvelous name forever and ever!

Blessings,
