We had planned on going up to see the District Superintendent about the church we are probably going to be taking. We had an appointment at 11:00am, and we had arranged to have our friends watch the kids while we were gone. Then, right about the time were getting ready to leave, we found that we had a message on our voice mail--he was not able to meet with us today after all. We were pretty disappointed at first--we had been looking forward to going and meeting with him.
Since we already had babysitters lined up, we decided to go get some materials we needed for the house, and we made a date of it. I had a gift card to Twist & Shake that a lady at church had given me as a thank-you for subbing for her and teaching her Sunday School class, and the weather was just perfect. A cold front had moved through leaving it feeling like fall today. It was just beautiful outside and we had a really nice date. I love my husband so much.
Anyway, while we were out and about doing this and that and running hither and thither, his cell phone rang. It was a friend of ours who has a construction company telling Erick that he was ready to put him to work. Erick had inteviewed with him last Tuesday and we've been praying that he would get the job. It has better pay, better hours, and he doesn't have to drive so far. The best part is that it's a day job and he won't have to work nights anymore, so we can start doing Bible studies and things in the evenings when he gets that church.
And speaking of that church, the guy who is in charge of it now called today also, and he's going to meet with Erick tomorrow and start putting him in charge of the schedule and helping him get started taking over the responsibilties there. So even though we didn't get to meet with the District Superintendent about it, we're already working towards taking that church.
It's been a really "God" day.
