Wow, what a week!
Over the last couple of weeks Scott has been talking to our pastor about doing internship at our church so that he can learn and experience what is like to be a pastor himself. Well about a week ago when Scott received a call from our pastor asking him to take a week off work and go to IYC! IYC for those of you who don't know is an International Youth Conference, it is a huge conference and tons of fun! I went 3 times through out high school. He really wanted to go so we discussed it and determined that with the lack of hours he has been getting at the restaurant it wouldn't be the best idea for him to take off that much time on such sort notice. So he called our pastor back to tell him the decision that we had made, this really upset me (by really upset I mean I was in tears which doesn't happen often) because I knew he really wanted to go and I knew he would have loved it. While on the phone with our pastor he said that Monday they would meet and talk about the details of this internship opportunity and try to get it approved by the board. So its Monday, they meet and the details are sort of ironed out all that was left was the approval, so as Scott left for work that evening he was told to call our pastor to see what was decided. So right before Scott left work to come home he called our pastor was told to "go ahead and put in your two weeks!"
I am so excited for him! This is going to be so good for him to really experience how the church works and is run before he heads off to school! So not only is he able to quite a job that he no longer enjoyed, but he will be doing what God has called him to do and getting paid to do it (it won't be much but that is ok we will be saving money with one of us not having to commute to Madison)! When I heard all this all I could think about what was that song we sang in church as kids:
God is so good!
God is so good!
God is so good,
He's so good to me!
We are still waiting for official approval on the details from the board and when that happens the internship will officially start! Scott gets to go to IYC and experience what I did so many years ago...I am so excited (I just wish I could go with him)!!
LOVED reading this! Congratulations to you both! God truly is so good! :)
