Important Team Announcement

11.22.2019 by Tracy Stella //

We have an important team announcement we want to share with our FACETS readers. Our team is changing, and Kim will be stepping away from regularly posting.

We are thankful for the time we got to spend with our friend and sister.  When she and her family transferred out east, we all talked about how the FACETS dynamic would look.  Because we valued the relationship, we wanted the partnership to remain intact.  We were willing to navigate new waters with remote collaboration because we treasured our friendship and loved what God was doing in and through our writing together.

Over time it became apparent it’s much more difficult to collaborate half a country apart. Let’s face it, technology doesn’t fill all the gaps as much as we wanted it to.   The three of us had to admit it was more challenging than we thought.   We did try to make it work.  Eventually, though, we had to wonder if God might be doing something new. Through prayer, we paused and reflected with God.  It was an important decision, and we welcomed Him into the process.

After several months, we all agreed it was a new season. We cried (because that’s what happens when good friends walk through change together).

We have so many memories to treasure up in our hearts.  It took bold (naïve) courage to take the plunge and write together.  Kim and Tracy may have pushed Jen off the ledge, but that’s what good friends do … they challenge each other to grow.  We did a lot of that.  God brought us together through laughter, conflict, and shared inside jokes that would have us in stitches.  Tracy remembers heckling Kim incessantly about one inside joke (still to remain inside, but it has to do with bicycles).  Jen fondly recalls her amusement as she realized once again she’d be the middle child.  We remember the uproarious outbursts at Panera that may have caused a few eyebrows to raise around the restaurant. Almost. Every. Meeting.

That’s what made the decision so hard.

Our beloved friend is still doing what God made her to do.  She’s writing because God has given her words that must be shared. You can find Kim at A Big Umbrella.

We love you, Kim!
