Busyness

/in /by

Today was a productive day. Currently, we’re booked for a Sunday meeting in December, at Lifegate Baptist Church in Ellisville, MO, and a missions conference in Heritage Baptist Church in St. Louis, MO in February. I wasn’t really sure how the whole calling Pastors thing was going to work, but it turned out to not be so bad once I got started. Sure appreciate the graciousness of those guys. I’m finding it to be rather challenging to work the needed calling around my job schedule, which has been very busy of late. I’m looking forward to getting the requisite 10-15% support we need to live on, and/or a full meeting schedule, so I can quit my job and do this full time. Hate serving two masters. Just isn’t fair to my current employers, and puts a real drag on my real calling, which is deputation.

Beginnings

We have started. Deputation is on. James and I agree, we are really eager to get started. However, we have a long road ahead of us. James has been making phone calls to set up meetings. We have one meeting in September and one meeting in December. It was SO exciting when he got that second meeting! The kids are excited about "driving around" as they call it. Jamie has been begging us every day to start driving around. You see, when we got back from Candidate School we told them that we would be riding on an airplane to Africa but first we had to drive around and get support. At first they just reminded us about this every day.
