A Move to KY??

I often dream of what my future holds. Where I will live, who I will marry, what my kids will be like, and most recently plaguing my mind is 'what kind of career will I pursue'. This has been a stressor, frustration, annoyance (whatever you want to call it) for the past year. Basically what it boils down to is struggling with whether full time children's ministry is for me or not. I've thought of different career paths I could take, but somehow God has always nudged me saying "uh-huh darling...this is what I want you to do"...so I caved and said "okay God, if you want me to do this ministry stuff, then teach me/show me how to do it the right way. Learning from my own experience has been valuable, but my motto is 'perfect practice makes perfect performance'. And I finally figured it out that I was practicing all wrong before. I didn't know what I was doing, so how could I lead others?

In the past couple of months, God has placed something on my plate that is bigger than anything I could have ever dreamed. In roaming the internet one evening, I came across Southeast Christian Church's website (a mega church in Louisville, KY) and they had posted that they were accepting applications for 2005-2006 internships. There was a children's ministry internship still available and I felt a nudging telling me to apply for it. So I thought 'why not' and sent it in...resume and all! I heard back from them a couple weeks later when Steve Young, the director of elementary ministries, called and said he would be in touch with me about a phone interview soon. A couple more weeks passed by and I thought they had forgotten about me, until one day Steve calls again and this time we set a specific time for the interview. Long story short...we had the conversation and it went GREAT! He said within a week he would get back in touch with me to continue the process. So they called me again yesterday and set up another phone interview with the Human Resources lady. After that required phone conversation takes place (on March 28th), it will be on to step 3 where they have said they want me to meet the staff team! WOW! Did I ever think it would get this far...heck no! This whole thing has been such a GOD thing I can't even explain it...it is so amazing! Now, just hanging on for the ride:)

God is increasing my faith walk. Helping me to jump the hurdle I struggle with..."God, I believe You, but help me overcome my unbelief". Even now it is difficult to believe something so incredible like this internship could happen. So, I go about trying to make different plans just in case it doesn't work out. That's where I tend to get off track. I don't want to make other plans...I want to believe that He can pull it off. Praying for wisdom and strength to keep believin:)
