 When I was hired at my previous church, I walked in those big double doors on the first day and I took a deep breath, not knowing what the journey ahead would look like for me. I was excited, I was nervous, and I was ready to see how God would work through me. People greeted me and welcomed me in, but as we stood outside those big sanctuary doors for the first time, ready to procession in, the council president, who was also a very active member at that time, came up to me.
