The Hardest Post in My Life

I just posted the hardest post I’ve had to write in my whole life. Last Sunday (a week ago tomorrow), Tiffany told us about her decision to leave the JOJ Team. That was really hard to hear. I even cried. After several days, though, it’s getting better.

As I was writing the post, I started to realise exactly why it was so hard to say “goodbye” on that end of things. I realised that at least one reason was because I had always thought of Tiffany as the head editor—the one to whom I compared all my ideas, the one who made the final decision. At least, that was the way it was in my mind.

After she sent that email, I called her and we talked for just over an hour. (I’m sure glad Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone!) After the phone call, I remember thinking, I’m IT. I’m the head editor now. I’m only answerable to God for the decisions I make now. That brought tears. I wasn’t prepared for such a responsibility.

Another reason why I found it so hard was because this had become just another thing that was different between us—although we already knew how different our doctrines were, now we were even more different. That was hard.

God is good, though—I think I’m learning through this. Even though it’s been hard, I’m glad He’s here helping me! :)
