Just 22 Days and counting!

Well, there are only 22 days left until Graduation Day! It is crazy but also a strange feeling to know that Matt will soon be done with school. So, now it's down to crunch time and there are still no "job" offers. We have found several promising youth pastor positions open that Matt's applied for . Which leads me to the reason for this post...

We just got home from a trip to Dalton, GA for an interview with
Grove Level Baptist Church. We met with the Senior Pastor, his wife, the search committee and their spouses on Saturday morning for breakfast. This was just a fellowship time to get to know one another. I have to say that this was a fun group of people. Matt and I enjoyed our time with them. They made us feel welcome but more than anything we felt comfortable with all of them. After breakfast, Matt went to the church for his interview. It lasted 3 hours! He was spent after that. When I asked him what they asked, he couldn't remember and made the comment that it was better to ask what they hadn't asked. He felt it went well so now we just need to continue to pray for God's guidance for us as well as for Grove Level. We pray that God will provide the right man for their church (whether he be Matt or not) in his perfect timing. It was really nice to be home and visit family but also to have the opportunity to visit Grove Level to see if this is where God would have Matt and I to serve Him. Please continue to pray for the Lord's continued guidance in this process and for us to be patient and wait upon Him as it says in Psalm 37:7, "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him."

I feel weird leaving a comment since we've talked so much, but I want you all to know we pray and pray and pray for you, Matt, the kids, and your job search. I would love for God to move you back home, but want what's best for your family and the church family you join. We love and miss you all. Hopefully it won't be long 'til we're within lunch distance (or you're at least within Chic-Fil-A distance)!!
