I have always liked being different.  I didn’t like to just “fit in” I wanted to “stand out”.  Well, I believe that different can be good in a lot of areas.  Yesterday, we attended the church I am interviewing at, and it was “different” different from what we’re used to anyway.  The music was much more contemporary.  That was new to us, for church anyway.  I’ve listened to that type of music a lot just not “at church”.  But, I can definitely see myself getting used to it.

Anyway, it was a good experience.  I think we will be fine if I get the job, just something to get used to.  I am excited and still very hopeful.  Waiting for GOD to work.  Waiting is tough, I’m not good at it.   Pray for me.

I don’t know if I shared here last month about the study we were doing in my Sunday School class or not, but we were studying The Prayer of Jabez. This prayer is quite short, but very powerful.

“Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:1

Anyway, one of the things we agreed to do was to pray this same prayer for ourselves. If you’ve never done so you’ll be surprised, but God truly does answer and begins to move in your life. I know yes, it may take more time for some than others. One key is that you must BELIEVE that God will do so. Regardless, I wanted to share my results with you.

You know I resigned from my position at my church in March when my baby girl was born. I wasn’t 100% sure that I would stay home and not get back into church ministry in the future, but the plan for the time being was to stay home with the kids and work on my girl’s ministry. So far, that’s what I’ve been doing. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love being at home, and would never want to work full time unless the kids were in school full time, but this opportunity is for part time. Things have been going okay so far, but I have missed church work, and we have also felt the pain in our pocketbook, without my salary.

Anyway, last week I got a phone call about a ministry opportunity, in children’ ministry, in the next town, my hometown, about 15 miles away. Last Wednesday I spoke with the staff there in sort of an ‘informal interview”. They seemed excited and my family and I are visiting their church services tomorrow. The church is a bit larger than ours, we run 140 members and they run 275. I’m excited about the possibility of God “enlarging my territory.”

Found this really cool site “Look a Like Meter” and it will tell you if your child looks more like you or your spouse. Check it out! I did it for both of my children.
