Last week, I had one of my better interviews, at a church in Abbotsford. I found out last night that I came in second, in what was a close decision. It's OK that I didn't get that job. Ultimately, I want to be were God wants me to be. It was a very encouraging interview, and to hear that I was considered so highly at a large, well respected church, really says something to me.
One of my fears this year was that the people who fired me were right. That I'm just a hack and not really cut out for church work. Recently, I was thinking maybe that was true, but after my experience with this last church, I know that's not true. It's interesting, because I had shown up for that interview way early, so I spent some time praying in the car at a gas station nearby. I was wondering why I even bothered with all of these interviews and was tempted to just tell them I wasn't going to go. But Jesus meets you where you are and comes through when you need it most. It's little lessons like this that I've been learning all year long.
You'd think after being out of work for going on 9 months that it would be getting harder. In some ways it is. There's that desire to get moving on with our lives. But at the same time our faith and patience is growing all the time, and I'm even more sure now that God is looking out for us and is going to do something good.
On another note, I've tweaked things a bit more with the template. How does it look for you now? One thing I noticed is that the double border shows up in ff but not ie (which is why you should switch!). You can also check out the sermons I have posted on the right. They should all work.
