Dr. Pat Klose is one of the greatest co-laborers I’ve ever worked with! The list of things she’s accomplished in her time at Escondido Christian School is huge.
Dr. Klose came onboard as our principal during an extremely difficult time. But with hard work, creativity, and faith, she led our school into some of the brightest times we’ve known. God was in it!
So, last spring you can imagine my surprise when Dr. Klose told me she would be leaving. But even more surprising was the fact that the news didn’t bother me. I knew it was the right timing. God was in it!
Nobody likes goodbyes. Being separated from people we love is difficult. Even when we know God is in the change, our hearts ache at the thought of living without, or at a distance from, someone we love. But one thing that can help ease the pain at times like this is knowing…
God never blesses one person at the expense of another
When God begins to lead someone away from you into a new chapter in their lives, he’s also starting a new chapter in yours. In other words, God doesn’t take someone out of your life without replacing that void. As one person leaves, another one arrives.
So in times of transition, change, having to say goodbye to someone you love, as hard as it may be, if you know God’s in it, you can be at rest. You can be expectant that something good is going to happen to the person leaving, and that something good is arriving for you!
