The job match has occurred. Only, I have yet to find out. Yet another period of waiting, in a process that has been ongoing since February. In two weeks the final decision will be known. Nervous? Not really. Anxious? Yes. I just want to know. But, God has been teaching me that I don't have to know everything - right now. I'm excited about the possibilities of where I will spend the next two years. I've been asked if I'll be bummed if I don't get my first choice. The answer: no. I am excited about all 3 of my choices . . . I would be happy serving in any of the positions.
In between big church and team Bible study yesterday, my toes were stepped on. Big church was about forgiveness and Bible study was about healing broken relationships. ZING! Last night I realized something I had overlooked. We were reading Matthew 5:23-24. It says: "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." I had heard it the other way around . . . if you have something against your brother, go and make it right . . . but never this way. Something I guess I skipped over or didn't read thoroughly enough. If you know that someone has something against YOU go and deal with it. Hmmmm. What if they want nothing to do with you? What if there is no means of communication? Right now, I think my offering will be sitting for a while. God is still faithful though. And for that, I'm grateful.
