This Could Be the Start of Something New....

That title is actually a lyric from a song from the new DisneyChannel movie High School Musical 2. My 9yo daughter enjoyed the first High School Musical, and is excited about seeing the sequel. With the Disney Channel showing promos for it during every episode of Hannah Montana that we watch, that song has gotten stuck in my head!! :)

Anyway, we do have some "new' things going on around our house. Roger, who has worked 8am to 4pm for all 12 and 1/2 years of our marriage (except for a brief stint working 4pm to midnight, UGH!) will begin working new hours tomorrow. He'll be working 6am to 2pm. He's not looking forward to getting up at 5am on a regular basis and I don't blame him, but having him home at around 2:30 every afternoon will be fantastic!!

The other change on our horizon is our church situation. My Dad feels that the Lord is leading him to pastor again. The last church that my Dad pastored was one that he actually started himself. He does not feel that is the Lord's will this time, so he has been "canidating" at churches in our area.

Roger and I are thrilled about the idea of my Dad pastoring again. In the last year or two, we've been exposed to a lot of the "junk" that goes on in churches that lack the leadership of a strong, Scripturally sound pastor. So, we think this is great.

The situation as it stands right now is this. There are currently 2 local churches that are interested in my Dad as their pastor. We have visited both of them several times. One of them is actually a church that Roger attended as a teen ager. We LIKE both churches, but we like one a little more than the other, simply because it has more people our age, and more children in it. Right now, it LOOKS like the OTHER church, the one that is not our favorite, is the closest to actually calling my Dad as pastor, though both churches are strong possibilities. We are just waiting, and seeking the Lords will in the whole matter, and I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do for us, and through us.
