Yep, it came two days ago- an official inviation to go to the Conference for the IMB Journeyman program. He had worked for weeks on getting everything in to them. Then he waited weeks for them to issue the inviation. When he work up on Saturday morning he had an email stating that he had passed the health portion. He got the invite two days ago and had to know within 24 hours where he would be traveling from and to. He and Dean are hoping to go on the annual men's fishing trip the weekend before the conference. He was hoping he could fly out from Arkansas, but it is not going to work out that way. He sent his reply in and in 38 minutes he had an e-ticket ready for him. They were right on top of that.
Now we wait. Waiting is something I really do a lot now. The lesson this week at Bible Study concluded with the verse about waiting upon the Lord. Wait- our timing is not his. Wait.
Dean's boss came on Monday. Dean thought he was coming to talk to him about the project - to get an update. Nope, he came to talk to Dean about us moving to Corpus. Dean told him the money was not what we needed. We are struggling. He said he would have to see about it. They really want Dean there. This guy has a great reputation. Very well respected firm. Had we not come here to EP, there is no way that this guy would have ever hired Dean. Maybe this is one of the reasons we are here?
You know I have hated a lot about the move and the effects of the move. There have been so many things that are good that we would have missed out on had we not moved here. There are so many people we have met, so many opportunities we have had. Yes there have been some really great parts. I hope one day we look back and realize the good did outweigh the bad.
