Leaving is hard.  Starting new things can be hard.  Having the desire for a fresh start is not hard.

All three of these statements describe where I am at at this point in my life.  I am in the process of leaving my job of three years as an associate minister to become the Records Coordinator at a treatment center for teens. Leaving will be hard.

At the first of the new year I will be beginning a new job.  I already know that I have my work cut out for me at my new position.  There is no question that this job will be challenging for me.  Doing something new can be hard.

I have the opportunity to make a fresh start in a familiar place.  There is something exciting about being somewhere new.

These things are not just true about my new job, they are also true about this blog.  My previous blog, chaotic ministry, focused on my hectic life as an associate minister.  Since I am moving on from that position I felt it was necessary to change the blog.

If you were a reader of chaotic ministry, then I think you will find that much of the content here will be very similar. Let me take some time at the start to explain the name: a flyleaf is the dedication page of a book. A montage is a collection. Therefore this site is dedication to the myriad of things that have influenced my faith.  I hope that the things that I share here will be encouraging to you all, especially as you seek to strengthen your faith in Christ.
