Ready for more

Well, It has been a couple of weeks since that last post. Things are pretty much the same around here. Life has been some kind of crazy lately it seems like and probably won't slow down anytime soon. Jamie and I got a new kitten so it has been fun to add a new member to the family and watch her grow. I got to name her after a bama football player so of course that is always a good thing. I have been reading Francis Chan's book "Crazy Love" it is good but pretty intense. It is basically written around the idea that if God's people would stop looking at things so hard and realize that salvation and basically everything God does for us is built around his love for us, the world would look incredibly different. Any of you that know me know that I have had problems with "church" here lately. It is not getting any better but I am learning ways to deal with the issues I find it hardest to deal with. A few weeks ago was the first time I have had the perserverance to sit through a sermon at Trinity and it did nothing but make me even more frustrated than when I arrived. How can people take such little effort on the parts of leadership and treat it like some huge revival? I have had a major issue with the interim pastor and his night and day differences over the former pastor. I tell people that on the menu of spiritual food. Jett was a big slice of prime rib every sunday and this guy.. well lets just say he would be the equivalent of skim milk. Harsh? maybe but it is truly how I feel. I get nothing but anger out of church on sundays and I have pretty much determined it is not going to get better. I hope that Jamie and I can figure this whole thing out soon. We have a wonderful Sunday School class and we would absolutely hate to leave them. Changes are a coming for us and the church but only time will reveal what those changes are. I know I said that this would not be a "church" bashing site and I intend for that to stay the case I only say certain things to explain where I am personally on this journey. We are both feeling more and more of a pull lately to full-time missions and I wonder where that will take us exactly. Jamie got accepted to the teaching program for her license so maybe all that will tie together somewhere such as us taking a teaching position somewhere and use it as a tool to spread the gospel? My mind can only wonder at this point but God will reveal it to us as he chooses. Until that day I will try to keep my eyes, ears, and heart open to the choices God wants us to make.
Chasing,
