Confirmation
WOW, I am behind with updating my blog and I am so sorry! So much has happened I am not sure where I should start. I read my last post to catch up where I last left off. I find it ironic that my last post was about desperation and my new post is about confirmation. Right about the time of my last post we began praying about a possible move. The move was confirmed this past weekend. We canidated at Mt. Sterling Church of God in Mt. Sterling, KY for the student ministry’s position. This is the church that Peter grew up in from 3rd grade until college, his dad was the pastor. We have missed Kentucky and have discovered that Kentucky is our home. Sometimes as we have learned it takes leaving a place to realize that it is where you call home. My heart overflows with joy as I think about how God has confirmed our decision to move back to Kentucky.
We started the weekend asking God to make our decision crystal clear. We have questioned ourselves so much since our last move we wanted to make sure without a doubt our next decision. The Saturday we were there Peter preached to the teenagers. Afterwards they decided to allow the teens to take a vote since most of them were not old enough to vote at church on Sunday. Peter and I both looked at each other because their previous youth pastor had just left that Monday. But God was faithful and despite their recent loss they voted 100%! We were so excited with the results. Sunday Peter was to preach both services at church and before it was time for him to preach they had a special in music. Now just that morning Peter and I were talking about how we wished Peter’s mom could have been there to know where we were canidating and how happy she would have been. We pushed back the tears and went inside. As the special in music began we both looked at each other and began to cry. The hymn that was beginning to play was “There is a Fountain” (not sure if that is the real name but it’s what we call it). The significance behind that song was the last time we heard or sang it was at Peter’s mom’s funeral when he sang it in memory of her. Some may call that a coincidence, however we called it a confirmation from God! Then to top it off when the congregation took their vote it was again 100%! Praise God for giving us no doubt in accepting the call to Mt. Sterling Church of God!
Please remember us in your prayers as we begin another transition with our family this summer! We are praising God for His continuous blessings!
