First, a little recent background. Lately I've been very, very complacent, and had started making decisions about jobs and the future just based on what made sense in my head, (although looking back at it even a few days later I'm wondering what on earth I was thinking!), and over the weekend it dawned on me that I had been doing all this without really seeking God's will or even praying about these things.

I shared all this with a friend on Monday, and talking about it out loud helped me to realize that perhaps these job decisions needed more consideration and prayer, and that I needed to slow down and not try to do it all on my own.

I was still kind of in limbo mode up through today, and then I got this crazy phone call. My friend and mentor Michele called. For anyone who doesn't know, I did an internship in communications at RiverTree Christian Church in summer '05, and Michele was my boss there. Michele and I had talked a few months ago, both kind of wondering how I might fit in to RiverTree in the future, but we both just left it up to God's leading, (and I evidentally started doing things my own way and ignored if God was leading me there). So she says that I've really been in her thoughts since we had that meeting several months ago, and they've suddenly found themselves in a position where they really, really need help. And she wants to know if I have ANY time available to meet with them tomorrow!!

So, I say all that to say that I have an interview Thursday (today, given how late I'm writing this) at 12:30 to do something with the Communications department at RiverTree Christian Church!!

I'm quite a bit shell-shocked at this point. I've really felt God leading towards some drastic changes in regards to life and ministry, and I'm not sure if this is a step towards that, or a complete detour that I shouldn't be doing. With the exceptions of newfound passions for inner-city ministry, this is (would have been?) kind of a dream job for me. A year and a half ago, I walked into the doors of RiverTree not wanting to be there, and really bitter about megachurches as a whole. God definitely used my time there to teach me so many things, about ministry, church styles, leadership, families, you name it. I was thinking about that tonight, and was wondering just what God would teach me this time around. I'm excited, but at the same time, regardless of the outcome, God's used this as a way to whack me over the head and remind me that I need to seek out His will on all things, not just when I want too.

It's funny, because earlier today I was perfectly content to stay involved in a situation that I'm not happy with, and don't really want to continue being involved with, and in a second job that is fine, but doesn't exactly feel like my calling, and now, I'm questioning/seeking God on what looks like a wonderful opportunity. How I got so separated from seeking God's will, I'm really not sure, but I would really appreciate your prayers that I continue to seek God in all of this, and that if this is not the opportunity that I am to pursue that I won't fall back into being complacent and settling!
