Movement on the Job Front

I just got a call from the chaplain at the hospital asking me to cover some days for her this month AND I just got an email from the little church in Taylor that has expressed an interest in calling me to serve there. They want me to be pulpit supply until the end of the year! That means I get to celebrate Christmas in liturgical leadership again!! Woo Hoo! What an early Christmas present this is for me. I am so excited. It could, indeed, turn into an official call in the New Year! I would be double ordained since the PCUSA would have to receive me into their presbytery in order for me to serve this congregation.

Well, I guess I'll be spending another holiday season alone. It's kind of like my life is going full circle. I suppose that's the way it is for me. I remember the Christmas when I was totally alone in my apartment when I was 20 something. It wasn't such a bad time. I do enjoy my own company and for that I'm grateful. Maybe I'll meet someone nice in the coming year. This was a prayer that a lovely lady sent to me today:

GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU...Everything that is going wrong in your life today shall be well with you this year. No matter how much your enemies try this year, "they will not" succeed. You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year. For the remaining months of this year (2006), all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings sorrows and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down. I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me... My child! What can I do for you? And I said, "Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message"... God smiled and answered ... Request granted.
