Relationships matter in life. One generation pours into the next, and that generation continues pouring into the one after it. What we invest in others today has the potential to impact generations to come. Thank you @noahherrin for investing in my boy, forever grateful! @_trentonscott_ @torreyherrin

Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to travel to Arizona (our second time there!) for a two-and-a-half-day conference. We are so very thankful for opportunities to GROW, be challenged, connect with other pastors, experience Arizona’s incredible landscape, avoid Gila monsters (pronounced Hee-la monsters 😳), and enjoy some of the BEST authentic Mexican food we have ever tasted! Years ago, I was a certified Microsoft trainer, traveling throughout the Southeast to train executives. When I traveled for a conference or vacation, I never really worried about what I was leaving behind. I knew that when I returned to the office, everything would still be waiting for me. While I was away, I could completely unplug and engage in the experience. But here’s an observation I made this weekend about lead pastors—from those who have served in ministry for three decades to those who have served for just three years: None of them ever really gets to leave it behind. Over breakfast, they were finding time to write their messages for Sunday. During lunch, they were taking phone calls. Between sessions, they were pouring out their hearts about the challenges of navigating responsibilities for which they may have little formal training—counseling, marketing, capital campaigns, finances, and human resources. All of these responsibilities can fall under the umbrella of pastoring. And while every pastor recognizes that pastoring is an irrevocable calling from the Lord and an incredible privilege, they also carry the spiritual weight of their assignment. The decisions they make daily affect the lives and souls of those they lead—all while navigating the responsibility of leading their own families. If there’s one thing I keep learning, it’s this: Pastors need intercessors. Pastors need unconditional support. Pastors need connection. Pastors need intentional seasons of rest. Pastors must find ways to refill. Pastors are human, too. Dearest Pastor and Co-Laborers for the Kingdom - it’s going to be worth it. only Heaven can accurately reward you for the unique life of service you’ve lived, the will you surrender. Keep going! < 1 Peter 5:4 ESV

#gsmnp #nps #cadescovetn Great Smokey Mountain NP - You were so good to us. ♥️🌲🐻 Torrey and I literally prayed this morning at 6:40 am as we entered the park, and asked God if He would allow us to spot a Bear. Just one! 1️⃣ 55 minutes in, and very deep into Cade’s Cove we’d seen nothing. I remembered reading one of the articles the night before and it said to take “Hyatt Lane” off of the cove, so we did. About 5 minutes off road and all by ourselves Torrey screamed, “i think I see one in the trees!” (4th photo) No way was that a 🐻Bear 🙈 but we hopped out of the car to zoom in with our phones and take a closer look. COULD IT BE THAT GOD WOULD ALLOW US TO SPOT THIS BEAR BEFORE ANYONE ELSE? Yelp! That bear was snacking in the tree. We sat and watched him for about 30 minutes, grabbing photos and video as best as we could through the bush — we were so thankful! As cars drove by we shared our joy with the few others that stopped and asked what we spotted. They stopped to join us. ‼️AS WE WERE ALL JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE from the trail behind us comes Momma Bear and her cub … ♥️ she literally walked 4 feet in front of us making her way to the field right towards the Bear in the tree! When she arrived almost to the brush she turns back to come towards us (we think she was leaving her scent) as she and the 1st cub head into the thick wildflower brush! We had no idea what was about to happen . . . We turn to look behind us again … and just as we do out onto the road two more cubs cross in front of us. Whining and grunting trying to find momma. They scurried all around our vehicle as if they were confused and disoriented… Finally picking up her scent right where she went into the thick brush they frolicked and leaped in front of us. It was THE BEST BEAR DANCE EVER ‼️(5th frame video) It was truly a moment we will cherish and I absolutely know God answered this prayer and even answered it above our expectations! (Ephesians 3:20) GOD IS SO GOOD! AMAZING CREATOR! #thankful XO Polly

God created the four seasons, each carrying its own beauty, purpose, and unique attributes. From pruning to planting, from blooming to harvest, every season holds significance in its own right. The seasons of our lives are much the same. There are seasons when we plant, seasons we harvest, seasons when we bloom, and seasons when God allows us to be pruned. Some seasons feel fruitful, while others may feel quiet, difficult, or even uncomfortable. BUT — just as the seasons move in a God-ordained rhythm, so does the cycle of our lives in His purpose. In every season, we can trust that God is working things together for our good. - Ecclesiastes 3:1 Today we cheer Pastor Amanda into her next Kingdom assignment. Amanda is a rockstar! For the last 4 (almost 5) years she has been a high capacity member of our pastoral team, with an unmatched desire to disciple others, and a genuine love for kids ministry with evidence of sustained fruitfulness here at NHC! Her vision and implementation for VBS the last 4years has been one of the best I’ve ever witnessed and that legacy will continue. It’s a bitter sweet season . . . Amanda said YES to another ministry position in Ohio, but we know her thumbprint will remain a part of our future for years to come. Amanda, from Pastor Torrey and I personally and on behalf of NHC “thank you” for investing in all our lives. We are soooo very proud of you! We are celebrating this next season God has for you - knowing He has a good plan and we can’t wait to watch it unfold. Cheering you on PA! XO@
