Leaving a special place

I am packing my family up and moving once again.  My wife and I have been married for nearly six years and in that time we have packed up and moved six times. Before this it was always our choice to move but this time that is not the case.  This time we are leaving a very special place.  When we first moved here a little less than a year ago I did not know how special this place was.  I only knew it was a place that was struggling and needed help, and I thought I might be able to help.  As I learned more about this place I started to realize how special it really was.  Eventually I found a small group of people who truly cared about this place and had a heart to help in the struggle but they had been pushed away and cut off for various reasons and were very careful about who they would trust with their support and their time.  In short....they had been burned.  I quickly realized it would be a very good thing if I could start rebuilding some of these bridges that had been burned and start to reclaim the good name of this place.  I did not know that I was facing a major wall.... a deep rooted seed of corruption from an unfortunate group of men who had somehow gained control of this place.  These men know how to do two things very well, LIE and pass blame for their failure to someone else.  These men DO NOT know how truly special this place is, they have only known this place to be a corrupt place and that in because they are the ones who brought the corruption.  The sad thing is that as soon as I started to insist that we not run this place in a corrupt fashion and I started to rebuild some of the relations to the folks I mentioned earlier I was forced by these men to leave this special place.  So now, with sadness in my heart I am leaving.  My hope and prayer is that these men who have no business having control of such a special place would stop the madness and give the place back to the people it truly belongs to.  My prayer is that this place will be used once again to reach into the hearts of a very special group of people.  In spite of my disappointment and hurt I pray for this place because I believe in a God who is bigger than the corruption and lies.  I am sure that my next adventure will be a good one, and for the sake of my family I hope it lasts longer than a year, but this special place will stay with me.  I am grateful for the time that I was able to spend in such a special place.
