Blessings, big and small

I've been thanking God for my weekend in Seattle. He gave me such rest and allowed me to sit back, enjoy myself and focus on other people instead of myself and the circumstances I'm met with everyday. Relaxation is next to impossible for me -- how are you supposed to relax your muscles? It's too hard. =) Everyone tells me to concentrate on relaxing, doesn't that defeat the purpose? Erin and Jordan spent quite a bit of time with me and I'm thrilled at the prospect of being in the DTP with both of them! They're such a great couple and I love hearing their fresh perspectives on things -- often so different from one another. God is already providing people to spend time with and others to pour into. He astonishes me!

The interview went alright. I did not have a feeling one way or another whether I'm the type of employee they are looking for. What stuck out in my mind is that they want someone who is all in, not looking for something to fill a void or provide a paycheck. Though I do not know if I can offer life-long commitment to them, I know that I want to be the kind of person that is always "all in." If I'm going to do something, I want to do it right and I want to carry it out to its completion.

Mars Hill is wonderful. I did not get to meet the DTP, except for one or two of the leaders.

Now I wait. I mentioned to Erin that I do not know what I will do if I hear from the company that they are looking for someone else. How will I cope with the disappointment and the setback? I pray that I won't face disappointment in this arena. I thank God for his blessings, big and small!
