No for New Leaders

I thought that maybe this was the position God had laid out for me in NYC, but I got my rejection letter in the mail on Saturday. So superstar brings the envelope to me in the garage as I am cleaning it for liv's bday bash today. I open it....thank you but no thank you...blah blah....form letter....so no. I'm fine with it, but I thought maybe this was it so that we could start doing things to move....
But it is not. I know that God has a better plan, and I am going to trust in him. Doesn't mean it is easy to get the no letter. But from the beginning I have asked God to open the doors HE wants open for me, and close the doors he wants closed. I know he doesn't want to bring my family and I harm so I will trust in Him...
ANYWHO-Superstar and I read the letter, and then on the radio, the DJ says "Here's the new tune from the Wombats-Moving to New York" We look at each other, look at the radio, look at each other. Start laughing. God must have known to put that song on the radio for us. If you want to hear some of the comedy-you can listen to a little bit of the song at:

then click on their music player. The song starts out talking about having a crazy week, something something, Christmas coming early, whatever. Just funny. So we're moving to New York. I just don't know when, where, or what we'll do for an income. Just another crazy week...

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
