I know you all have been waiting, holding your breath, for THE News. I wanted to respect the procedures and wait till it was announced in church this past Sunday....so without further ado...
After talking, much prayer, and a unanimous recommendation from the Personnel committe, next Sunday Jeremy will be voted on for the Minister of Administration position! It all started the few days after Jeremy got back from Africa, and I referred to it vaguely here in this Thankful Thursday from July 5th.
This is completely God's dream/plan come true. I can honestly say I was floored. I felt while Jeremy was gone to Africa that the Lord was going to keep us here, which I felt much peace about, but didn't know how He would actually do it...and then all this came down.
There were many things happening around us during this time...we had a few churches calling and we were really at a vulnerable time, but oh my gracious, I could not have imagined that this would be His plan.
After Jeremy met with the committee Wednesday night, they called about 25 minutes after he got home with their unanimous decision to recommend him. I cried, I am not going to lie, I cried! I was just so overwhelmed about God's grace and goodness during this time. It was totally worth working the past year and a half to pay off our stuff and get things in order to serve Him more fully. I look forward to sharing with you more about all of this, but you can be in prayer for the vote this Sunday, which is also Jeremy's birthday!!!!!! How exciting!
Have a great Monday, and start of school for so many kids today!

Oh girl!!!!! Thanks for letting us know so we too can give Him praise! I would've cried too! :)
I love that you did the hard stuff first too in order to be freed up to serve Him more fully. Bless y'all!
AWESOME!! I would have totally cried too! I'll be praying for Jeremy and wishing him a Happy Happy!
I tagged you, when you have time stop on by!
Congratulations!!! That is great news! I confess....I thought the "baby thing" too...until you said it wasn't. I could not imagine what it could be----but this is wonderful news!
God is good....all the time.....All the time....God is good (song we sing at church)
Bless you!
Now see, being a fellow PW I guessed it was something ministry related..:))
This is wonderful news! It is always so thrilling to be affirmed by a body you love so much. We've only been through 3 votes in our ministry, but I know even though you would like to think it is a formality, it is still nerve wracking! I know this is going to be a wonderful beginning to a prosperous ministry for the BOTH of you....
Blessings on you Karen and, I'm thanking you for the award on the other post..:)))
