Another Step

We have been in the States for seven weeks now. Besides trying to get organized and settled here at my parents’ home, attempting routine and homeschooling and at least one hundred other activities, we have been praying and seeking God’s plan for our future. John is looking for a church to pastor. We have considered several places already from Anchorage, Alaska (momentarily anyway) to Florida. I have even considered Hawaii. (Notice the singular pronoun in that sentence!) Actually, while we are willing to go where ever the Lord leads us, our hearts are in the south and we would prefer to settle in some southern state. John sent out some resumes last week. He spoke with one retiring pastor on the phone and after a couple of phone conversations and reading John’s resume, this pastor has asked John to come and preach this Sunday. At this point, we have no clue if this city is the final destination or just one more step of our journey. Also at this point, I am not going to give many details but I will say that it is a city in the south; way south! John is on his way to southern Florida! We like this location but our prayer is the prayer that Moses prayed when God was leading them through the wilderness: “And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.” Exodus 33:15 Please keep John in your prayers as he travels and preaches and continues to seek God’s plan.
