I have a lot of backed up thoughts and things to tell you so keep looking out for those.
But right now I want to give you an update on a post that I posted on March 12th. Here is that post in case you missed or need to be refreshed. I didn't realize that it was that long ago since I posted about this :)

Totally Unexpected And in An Unexpected Place
So I got this random e-mail from a random person on an e-mail account that I have not really given out.
Friday I received an e-mail from a guy (Joe) that I don't know on my school account that I don't give out it is just listed on my facebok. The e-mail said that he got my name from a guy that he works with. The guy he works with goes to my old church and I haven't spoke to him or seen him in over 3 years. Joe's email continued by saying that he is a member of Evangel Heights United Methodist Church and that they are looking for a Youth Pastor and he said that he was told to contact me because I might be interested.
I AM INTERESTED!!! was my reply to his e-mail and we spoke briefly on the phone and he said that he give all my information to his Senior Pastor.
On Monday I got a phone call from the Senior Pastor and we talked for a little bit and he told me that they are still in the very beginning of the process and being so close to Easter they were not going to be doing anything official with the position until after Easter had passed. He told me to send him my resume and that we will go from there.
So it isn't an official position or anything but it is another opportunity that came really out of the blue. This was totally unexpected and in an unexpected place. I have not been applying for any positions since I started school so this was totally a surprise.
One other thing that he told me gave me a little bit of hope was that someone once took a chance on him. I told him that I was just getting started that I was still in school and really have no experience at all with my own group. I told him that I just looking to get started with the first chance and opportunity. That is when he said that someone took a chance with him and the rest is history.
I hope he takes that same kind of chance with me.
More to come as this story develops..

So last Monday I received a phone call from the Pastor of Evangel Heights! I was excited to finally here from him. It had been so long since we talked last I thought maybe he had dismissed me just as other pastors have done after they take a second and looked over my resume. The experience is always where they draw the line. But we talked over the next half an hour or so. He then told me the next steps of the process.
He said that he was going to meet with the church board and discuss the applicants and see who they were going to be bringing in for a face-to-face interviews. He said that he would notify me in about 2 weeks to let me know if they decided to bring me in for a face-to-face or not. (If I get the face-to-face there is still one more interview to go.)
So that is where I am with this. I am waiting again to see what the church decided. I have a strong passion for this and because I am still in school this would be a good way to gain experience in the field.
I will let you know more as I find out myself.
