So. A lot has been happening!
Today, a door was shut. A prayer was answered. And not at all in the way I was hoping for. It is sad, but in a way a relief for me (right or wrong as that may be, it is true). Sometimes deciding what God wants for you is taxing. And confusing. I just hope that for their sake and the church's sake, the people made the decision God wanted them to make and not the one they "thought" best for themselves.
We KNOW without a doubt that God is leading us into full time ministry. A door opened a couple months ago at a local church, and things started to get tense, so we tried very hard to slam the door. However, God wouldn't let it close. Now, we are being forced to take a peek around that door and see if we were missing something. Or if fear was ruling instead of God...hard stuff there.
And then there is the other church. The one 5 1/2 hours from here. The one that contacted Cameron. He is one of their top three candidates (out of thirty some odd---how neat is that!!). They need a full-time youth guy. And are looking for a separate part time music man. But Cameron can fill BOTH of those positions. So there is a "buzz" about him. We shall see where this one leads. My husband is a sought after sort. And I am so proud of him. Honored to be his wife. Blessed beyond my own belief. Sometimes I pinch him just to make sure he is mine!

I always think of Jer. 29:11 in the days of not really knowing where the Lord is leading. It's great that you KNOW God wants you in the ministry; now just trust and lean on Him.
I will be praying for Gods clear direction for your family, just hang in there!! ;)
Wow! We will be praying for God to answer in a way that leaves not doubts. Check out Judges 6:38. Don't use an acutal Fleece, but something that is just between you and God. I started to try it just recently, but ended up not having to. I know a couple that have used a phone call from a relative as their "fleece". Just something that is out of the ordinary that God will use to be a definate answer of what his will is in a situation. It worked for Gideon, maybe it will work for you too.
Lots of Love,
Adam
Wow, the youth guy/music guy position sounds promising! 5 1/2 hours away? Where? (If I'm being too nosey, you don't have to tell!)
Oh, that was so touching. I know you are so proud of him. I used to work for a church while in high school. I think it would be really neat to work for one again. When one door closes and the other one opens....you will then understand why it is "The Perfect Plan." Let us know what happens
