It's a NO

Here's a portion of the email I sent to the pastor about the position in Missouri. I know some of you are at the edge of your seat wondering what I am thinking and doing. And some have even staged protests! But rest assured, I am not going to consider this position.



"My husband and I have been speaking quite a lot since yesterday about this opportunity and praying as well. And I believe we have come to the decision that while I am confident that I could do the job that you need done, I am also confident that I would not be content in it. I know that I would, like your church board is afraid of, use the position as a stepping stone or a notch on my resume to reach a position that I know for a fact I am called for. I would not be able to take the position and stay in it for the long haul, which for children's is mandatory. I do not know where God is taking me, but God has thankfully used this process to clarify to me that where I am in adult ministries is the path that I need to be on."



So we remain where we are until the next opportunity or rather the right opportunity presents itself.
