Some of you already know that over the past several months Doug and I have really been praying about what's next in our lives. We both feel a call to ministry and the mission field (be it wherever we are). We have recently put our house up for sale and are planning on moving so that Doug can go back to school and "finish" his ministerial degree (we thought at Southern Seminary)!! But the more that we pray the more God is seemingly leading us back to a very familiar place. Last month we spoke with Bob Stotts about a Resident Director position at Campbellsville University (where Doug could "work" AND get his Masters of Theology).
Most people that we have talked to about it think we're crazy.....Doug leaving a very stable teaching position to be an RD for less than half the salary, moving our kids into a dorm apartment (nearly half the size of our house now), and going back to get a degree at CU as opposed to Seminary. It doesn't seem to make a lot of "financial" or "professional" sense to a lot of people. But it sure makes perfect sense to us! We trust that God knows what He's doing and we know from experience that He will bless us as we follow Him!!
We have an interview at CU in the morning!! Please be praying that we will be faithful wherever He calls!!
