Last few days

Has it been a few days since blogging? Wow, time flies fast! I have much to say about the job search thing but I am going to have to save much of that for later. The reason is I don't want to assume anything. Needless to say this is most likely "offer week" (I have already had one "minor" one). Yep, there should be some coming. Note I said "some" and not "one". I do want to share one thing with you, however. Not sure if I blogged on this way back (I should check). Back in the first week following "Black Monday", thoughout my prayers, one thing from God kept ringing in my ears. It was this: "when the time comes, you will choose from abundance and NOT desperation". It seemed hard to believe. Now, it is coming true! That was at the same time God was also talking to me through scripture (Joshua 1:9 to be precise). Of course it was all connected. Like I said, it was a hard time believing for quite some time. Things were indeed bleak for much of the time period. However, He kept reminding me of those two things: how I will choose and that He is always with me. As I said earlier, worry was never a part of my life (although, a little anxiety was!). God always keeps His promises! So, through this week, I will await some contacts to see where things lie. Next week should be interesting in deciding what direction things go. Stay tuned...

The service at River Valley was great! My style of worship leading worked in quite well with their service. I enjoyed it a lot. I did introduce two new songs for them: Happy Day and Center. Both went over good. They did ask when I can come back. I am sure I will - I need to look at my calendar to see how I can balance my time there with CCC and baseball.

Speaking of baseball, we did lose another game last Saturday to a team that is undefeated (they look like they have a lot of 14 year olds). However, we did tie it up in the top of the 7th. They won with the final run in the bottom of the 7th. It was a very exciting finish. Men on 2nd and 3rd - 1 out. Kid hits a deep fly to center. It is caught by our strong armed center fielder Sean (Alec was pitching). The other team must have forgotten that. The kid tags up and jogs home thinking they won and it's over. Well, Sean guns it home. He actually ended up throwing it just a couple feet over the catcher's head! Had he thrown just a little lower, the runner would have easily been out and inning over - we go to extras. Even our team, despite the loss, was very excited at the end. We played much better defense. Still some lapses but overall better than previous. And see what happens? We play a very competetive game with a good team right up to the last out. I guess the practice we had a couple days before paid off a bit: it was nothing but fielding grounders the entire 2 hours!
