I've called several of you and might send out an email soon as well. But I wanted to update you on our job search. For about two months we had focused primarily on two churches. Both of them ultimately decided to go different directions; so as of Monday, Steph and I were left confused and a little disheartened that seminary is drawing to a close and our job search is not. But God's been amazing through this all and taught us to trust Him in this process. We are confident that He will lead us where He wants us when He wants us there. So we have renewed contact with a few churches to see where they are in their process of hiring. Each of them has opportunities that excite us, so we are grateful that God has left doors open for us to peek into. So we are going to be speaking to churches in the near future to see what transpires. Please keep up in your prayers when you remember us, and we'll let you know how things progress!
On a side note, I got to preach on Easter Sunday--an impromptu sermon almost. Our pastor at Pioneer got sick the night before and asked if I could preach. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare, but God's taught me a lot through Isaiah 53 recently, which incidently is prophesying about the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. So I did my best and let God take His word and apply it to people's hearts. God's really given me a love of preaching that I had not necessarily expected to have....I hope your Easter was wonderful and that you were able to take time to remember that we serve a God who has the power to do the impossible and that we too will one day share in Christ's eternal reward because He was willing to suffer and die in our place, conquering death and giving us hope in our own resurrection to eternal life. What an awesome Savior we have!
