September 30

Just a quick update since our interview on Saturday. . .

The interview seemed to go well.  We think we would be a good fit for the church and Darren could really be an asset to their worship/music.  The biggest concern we have is for Kylie.  They have very few youth her age in the church.  They have 6th-12th grade together and only about 7 in that category.  So, a big prayer item is for a good friend for Kylie if that is where God is calling us.

The church board will not contact us now for about two weeks.  They want to pray about it and process the interview.  They also have had a few other people express interest in the position and want to give them an opportunity to apply if they so desire.  They said it was no reflection on how they felt about us.  So, we continue to wait and pray.  (You'd think waiting would be getting easer by now!!)

My job at the FSA office is also delayed.  First they didn't have fingerprint cards.  Then the State forgot to send fingerprint cards.  Got fingerprint cards and the courthouse wasn't doing anymore fingerprints that day.  Finally got them done last Friday, but the machine really didn't like my fingerprints.  So, I am a little anxious until I get the "okay" from the government that they actually have approved my fingerprint cards!  All the delays meant I couldn't start until this week.  Well, this week is the last week of the pay period and the government won't let anyone start work during this week.  So, right now my start date is October 6.  I hope that one really is correct!

I was hoping to only be off work for one week.  This is now week 3!  I've only had a call for 1/2 day of subbing, too.  Makes me nervous, but I have to keep being reminded that God is in control.  I am enjoying my time at home and doing a few fix up projects in the house.  That is part of the agreement with us living in the house, that we will fix up a few things so they can sell it next spring. 

Thanks again for your interest, but most of all your prayers.  God is good!
