Well, we received a call this week from St. Louis Young Life offering Antaun the position as Urban Area Director. He will be working with an inner city school in St. Louis developing relationships with the kids and then he will lead a Bible Study one night a week. He will also be in charge of volunteers, some fundraising and connecting the youth to churches and small groups. You can read more about Young Life at http://www.younglife.org/. When the phone rang, I happened to be reading my Bible and praying and the Lord told me, "they are going to offer him the position." I just knew it, I was reading Psalm 31 and it was so encouraging to me.
It says, "But as for me, I trust in you Oh Lord, I say, You are my God. My times are in your hand." I could hear the Lord saying, Just trust in me Kimberlee, I know what I am doing!!! I tend to think I have it all figured out!
We did not tell them a definite yes because we wanted to pray and write down some questions and just process everything. They are still raising some of the funds for the budget this year, so they did not expect an answer yet. Because of everything with Pennsylvania, we learned to not plan anything because the Lord can change it at any time!! But at this point, our hearts are telling us this is the door to walk through.
I just have to say I am very proud of my wonderful husband. I have prayed since we have been married that Antaun would have a job he enjoyed and felt like he was called too. I am thankful because I feel like this is what I have been praying for.
Now we just pray for the details, like selling our house, moving away from family, finding housing in St. Louis, just everything that comes with moving. But I know all of that will work out especially when the Lord is in control!!
