What next?

Well, i had an interview for a church near Dallas, Tx this past wed. I was so pumped for it and just so ready. I spent the day awaiting for a flight going down, after my own flight was canceled due to weather in Dallas. So i was down there at about 5:30 and i met the pastor in person and then had dinner with his family along with the NYI President (for those who dont know that stands for Nazarene youth international). After dinner, i hung out with the NYI Pres and we went around picking up some kids for the youth group. I noticed very quickly that all of these kids were black, as we were in a somewhat urban area. And this made me very excited. After we get to the church, i sit for an hour giving my testimony and answering some questions. I thought that this time went very well. I then officially met some kids in the youth group and was super pumped. I was sure that this is where God was going to put me for the summer.

So about a half hour after i get back to the airport, the Pastor calls me to tell me the news. As it turns out, the CHurch Board's vote was a negative one. I was bummed. and what bummed me further was the fact that the main reason the vote was negative is because i lack a car. And when i found that out, i was not only bummed, but kind of perturbed. The lack of a car...come on. i have a license and i coud drive someone else's car. But as much as i was upset and bummed, i came to realize that i guess this is not where God wanted me for the summer. Which just really stinks.

This was summer job rejection number 2. First YouthFront and now this...God telling me to do something else. This something else, i STILL have no idea what it shall be, but i hope that it will; i know that it will come. I just need to be listening when God whispers it in my ear.

So i guess all this to say...keep me in those prayers of yours. i would be MOST greatful.
Love ya
Dios Te Bendiga
