Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a big day for our house.  If you remember this post, I mentioned a little boy whom we were being considered for.  Well, tomorrow, November 20 will be the staffing.  They will decide during a meeting at 10:00am.  We will be praying for wisdom for the staff who are meeting.  We know our chances are rather slim considering we have no income. So it will truly take and act of God for us to get this little boy.  I truly hope and pray that we might be chosen.  But I'm trying to keep things in perspective.  I know I am still healing from the fact we were not chosen for Amara. God has a plan for good and not for evil.  I am resting in that promise.  


God is in the drivers seat... 

Last weekend was pretty intense. We had a 2 hour interview where we had to give "our story" and answer 13 in depth questions. We also had a second round of interviews that were "speed dating" style. We also had to come up with a worship session and we were fed a TON of information. Naomi had a blast with her grandparents. They said she only fussed once because she did not want her teeth brushed. It was the longest she had been away from Adam and me.

Now we wait and see what they thought of us. They will designate us in to one of four categories.

1) Not a church planter
2) A Revivalist (take a dieing church and build it up again)
3) A Paulene Church Planter (Fast paced get a church started then move on in about 2-3 years)
or
4) A Founding Pastor (plant a church and stay for long term, about 5-10 years).

We personally feel that we are the fourth. But we will see what they have to say. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Let us know how tomorrow turns out. I'll be praying around 10:00 A.M. Sounds like last weekend was pretty intense -- I'll be curious to know what that decision was as well :)
