Today I was supposed to have an interview at the church. As many of you know, I did not feel like this was the position for me (although the news of a job prospect could not have come at a better time). I was uneasy about the amount of hours this new position would have required me to commit to on a weekly basis. I also would have had to give up my Sunday mornings.

This was the real deal breaker for me. I really enjoy attending service Sunday morning with Ryan and our friends. And more importantly, I would really miss my preschool class that Ryan and I teach. We started teaching last year when the kiddos where three (same age as Liz so she would be in our class when she visits). I made an internal commitment to serve with this group of kids through fifth grade as long as nothing beyond my control occurs. The idea of not being able to do this was really hurting my heart.

I decided to go ahead and interview for the position at Ryan’s request. It would have also been great if the position would have worked without compromising what is important to me, and there would have been no way for me to know for sure without interviewing.

Monte called me Monday evening to cancel my interview. God had lead the perfect person for the position to Bent Tree. I’m excited to see what this new energy will do for the ministry, and I’m really happy to feel like I’m walking in God’s will…..whatever that may be!
