Job Search Update!

Watrous, SK, here we come!

We are employed once again and oh, what an exciting feeling it is!  From the moment we heard about this position at Philadelphia MB Church (Pastor of Discipleship), we have been feeling pulled and tugged in this direction.  As with any huge decision in life, there are always things that we ask God for, whether consciously or subconsciously.  Some of the things we were asking for were being close to family, being in Saskatchewan, good position for Nathan (good fit), small town (but not too small), place where we could call home for a LONG time.  Well, this move looks like it will be an answer to each of those prayers AND MORE!  Isn't it wonderful how God knows how to give good gifts?  Things we didn't even think to ask for?  Like 40 kids in the church under preschool age for Levi to grow up with?  Wow.  Honestly, I thought we would have to settle for just a few of the things we were hoping for, or even just be ok with letting our dreams go and learning to be happy wherever we ended up.  But this?  This just has us surrounded in peace and joy.  This is where God is leading us and there is no question about that. 

Join us in celebrating!  Wahoo!  God is good!

YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! God is good. Your testimony of God's faithfulness makes me feel a lot of hope for my job search.

And I have to say, when I saw the picture the first thing I thought was, "Yup, that looks like a church of the Mennonite variety!"

I've never been to Watrous, but if God is leading you there, I bet it will make an excellent home town!
