"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
These verses have always been a key component to how Brad and I make major decisions. And we are at the point of a very big decision about a pastoral position and where we believe God is calling us to serve His church.
This verse has been ringing in my head all day as we have prayed, fasted, and sought the Lord.
Much has happened since the middle of July. The church that chose Brad as their final candidate extended an invitation to us to candidate on August 5-7. We accepted and our entire family spent a wonderful weekend with that sweet church. On August 14, the elders there extended an official call to Brad to come serve as their Pastor of Family Discipleship.
During this time, the second church extended an invitation to Brad to candidate on August 26-28. We accepted that invitation and returned home just last night.
We have been praying, over these many last months of journeying with these 2 different churches, that God would give us wisdom, discernment, and lead us to where He wanted us to be.
So that is what we have been doing today, and we are asking you to join us in praying tonight and tomorrow as we hope to make a decision on where we feel God is leading us.
