Tonite we went to the Church Business Conference. Even though we could not vote, we wanted to go and at least find out what was going on. They presented a new Minister for Administration and also spoke about updates for Music Minister position. I suppose we are at such a mixed up state of mind because of the comments made. They said that they had posted job info on the web (although we could never find it) and said that they'd had about 40 responses and that they had 10 that were viable considerations. They also said that they would begin this next week to go and begin some observations of people and ultimately interviews. We have not been clearly told as to whether or not we are one of those 10. We KNOW that we have been told that we're in consideration, but yet, there's been no updated followup. We decided that even if we were in the running, we didn't want to ASSUME anything and that in the event they picked someone else, we didn't want to ultimtately be left out in the cold w/ no where to serve...Then, if a church DID find an interest in us, they wouldn't have a place to see him in action. The depressing part is that we came home and began looking at websites for potential job ministry positions and all throughout the country there is virtually NOTHING that is full-time. We are just praying that GOd will open the door and lead us in the right direction. We want to remain positive and trust that HE WILL take care of us...but sometimes it is very discouraging.
