Yeah, I know. We just got back from Alabama. This is a little impromptu trip. A few weeks ago, Jeremy got a phone call with a job offer up here and they followed it up the next week with a phone interview. I guess they are impressed so far because we are up here for him to have another interview. Jeremy’s parents took the kids overnight and I came up here with him. We’re going to check out the area a bit before his interview to get more of an idea what it is like. Kind of scary and kind of nerve-wracking. We weren’t expecting anything like this. We just bought our house a year ago and are working on ministries in our church. It’s kind of weird to think of maybe having to move AGAIN so soon.
Pray for him today. Pray for us in this situation. Pray that we know what God’s will for us is if he is offered this job.
I’m trying not to worry. I’ve gotten a peace about it knowing that God is in control, but I still have moments of panic or deep worry.
Wow! I can totally understand where you’re coming from. If God allows it to happen, then ultimately it’s a good thing. A God thing
Praying that God will continue to lead you and give you a peace one way or the other as Jeremy goes through the interview in Chicago.
I can identify with you in the anxiety over moving, as someone who has moved 6 times in 9 years! God has uprooted us often and taken us to a totally new place. Sometimes I asked why, really felt sorry for myself and spent some time moping about and depressed. However, I have found that when I just surrender and welcome whatever God has to bring–trusting that He always is taking us into something better for us–I have been amazed at how quickly God has sent us new friends, church families, jobs, etc… If you move to Chicago, just rest in the knowledge that God is already preparing everything you need there, and if you don’t move, you will know that God must have something better for Jeremy and your family on down the road.
It is really cool that you guys are getting some time away together! We REALLY need to do this. I know it has been at least a year since we went on any kind of date or took some time for just the two of us.
