On that date I will be flying to Frisco, TX to interview for the youth pastor position at the First Baptist Church there. This is the church that I have been asking so many of you to pray about. I have felt something special for that church for some time. I believe God has laid them on my heart for a reason.
Please be praying that I will have the right words to say both in the interview and while I'm speaking to the students. Pray that God would go out before me and prepare the hearts of the people who are going to hear the answers I give and the message I share. I believe that my actions while I'm there will only be a follow through of the Lord has already done.
They did say that this isn't "in view of a call" which just means that they aren't asking me to visit with the idea that both parties are deciding if the situation is right or not. In short, I don't have the job yet and they won't make an official decision while I'm there.
It's taking me a long time to write this, longer than any other post. We've been waiting a while for this and I think Dree and I are still in a state of shock that they called. I can't tell how how great it is to be on the ride of my life with God in control. In my soul, I feel like I'm flying down a highway at 200 miles per hour but in my spirit I know that God is at the wheel. What a paradox, knowing something is in control yet it still makes my heart pound so hard I can feel it in my chest. I hope all of you are on board with Him.
