| Times a changing...Well, It's March...almost April. It amazes me how fast the days go by now that I am an "adult" and out in the working world.
Work...sucks. Well, at least work at DBU, but hopefully that will change. Sunday I have my final interview with the ministerial staff at First Baptist Church Frisco. After this meeting, I go to the Personnel Committee. I am a finalist, although I don't know if I am "a" finalist, or "the" finalist. We shall see. At first, I was unsure whether I wanted to leave First Duncanville or not. I have a great family there and love being involved in my home town. Over the past two months as I have interviewed with Frisco, I have felt more of a peace about leaving and moving on. Last night, during the prayer time at the end of the choir rehearsal, Jonathan asked if he could share my news. I said that was ok and the news was received with a host of "awws," "oohs," and "nos!" It felt good to know that even the possibility that I might be leaving was sad.
I feel deep down inside like I have the job. Mandy keeps telling me not to say that or I'll jinx it. I dunno. For so long, I turned down offers to leave Duncanville and go get a paycheck at a church. This one was different. I talked to a lot of people about it and most of them said the same thing. Basically, God has called me to worship ministry. If I am going to grow in that ministry, I will be called to other places in order to do that. I think that Frisco is the next step in my ministerial career. I like the minister of music there. He is not much older than I am, and he has a lot of energy and vision for worship.
I know that God is in control, and if he choosed for me to not get hired by Frisco then so be it. I'm not sure that I will continue on much longer in my job as DBU Custodian/Workstudy/Whipping Boy if I don't get hired, but I know that God will open a door. As much as I hate my main jobs that I have been given by DBU, I will greatly miss the role I got to play in the Spiritual Life of the campus through chapels and the Worship Formation Committee.
In other news, Amanda and I have recently past the 5-month mark of our relationship. It is hard to believe that I have been lucky enough to spend the past 5 months dating the most wonderful woman on earth. She has been a constant source of encouragement and devotion. It is so great when God is in the center of a relationship and is guiding you both toward his ultimate goals for your lives. What a joy it is to be walking with him and each other through these days. I would ask for wisdom and guidance as we seek the proper time to get married and begin our lives together as one in Christ. |
