Well, sadly I was not offered the job at Hope Preschool. However, although I was disappointed, I know that God must have something else in His plans. I have continued to apply for some nanny positions and am hoping something happens soon. On a good note, my camera came back in the mail, fixed and ready to take pictures. I have been trying to keep busy the last few weeks cleaning, organizing and doing art projects around the apartment. I can't believe we are moving to our new apartment in three weeks, I am so excited and anxious for the day to arrive.
God has not only been showing me He has other plans in mind. Ben found out this last week that the shared youth pastor position we having praying about also seems to be more of a closed door now. However, where God closes one door He always opens another. While the youth pastor position does not seem to be working, the pastor from SW Minneapolis church seems to be interested in potentially starting a church plant and is asking for us to pray about our involvement. Although this is not what we originally expected, if it is what God is calling us to do, we want to follow His will.
Ben needs prayer for discernment and wisdom if this is what God wants, and if it is, prayer that Ben would find a full-time job that would free up his evenings and weekends. Also, please be in prayer that I would find a job that I would enjoy and that would help provide for our financial needs. In addition, my back has been spasming and I have been in a lot of pain since Sunday afternoon. I would appreciate your prayers for God to heal my back; whether it's just from the weight of my growing belly, sleeping on it funny, or the baby sitting on a nerve.
Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement.
Love in Christ,
The Hosch's
