WOW WOW WOW

Well, today we were once amazed by the hand of God in our lives. As you know, I had an interview this morning at Mooresville High School. As we drove up this morning, I was not the least bit worried, but then I began worrying that I wasn't worrying! We got to the school about 20 minutes early, we said a prayer together and I headed into the building. I was supposed to meet with the Assistant Principal, but when they came and got me in the waiting room, it was the head principal instead. Something had come up with Ms. Ferguson and she couldn't do my interview. We began the interview with the typical interview questions that I've been asked a hundred times by a hundred different people. The interview was going well and I really liked the principal. Then it took a turn to the crazy...
We began talking about my family, and I mentioned that my dad was an executive minister. He seemed interested and I told him that my grandfather is a preacher as well. He said, "What a coincidence, my son is a youth minister, he is getting the congregational vote on Sunday at his new church in Bloomington called Sherwood Oaks Christian Church." Well...you can imagine my jaw hit the floor and I began laughing uncontrollably. He was obviously curious and I told him that I have been a member at SOCC for over 4 years now. He replied with "You're Kidding." Suddenly all those questions probing into my personal life about my morality and being a role model didn't matter. He even said, "So we understand eachother then!" I noticed his bible on his desk and we talked about different Bible Colleges that our families had gone to. When I told him about Juli and my Mom going to Milligan, he said that he loves the Buffaloes and was going to wear a Milligan shirt to school that day! What can you say to something like that?!!!??!!
The rest of the interview was just great. He told me that I did a great job and that I am at the top of their candidates. He wants to fill the position within the week and wants me to be prepared for a response if they were to offer it to me. I get the feeling that this is going to happen.
So now blog readers...please continue to pray, but lets first and foremost give TONS OF PRAISE that God has worked the way he did. Little did I know how much would happen within 48 hours of the start of our mission trip! God is such a rascal! Now we are praying that God would make it clear if this is the job He has prepared for us. All our thoughts and logic point that this is the case, but we want to give God the time to speak and for us to listen. Please pray that if this is NOT the job for us, that he would make it EXTREMELY evident! I know it will be hard for us to be listening while we are packing the car and flying on planes, so please, please be praying for our discernment of God's will.
We hope you continue to follow our journey which has already been so exciting! We love you all
