I heard back from Evangel Heights yesterday while I was at Six Flags. I received a lot of positive feedback for them. But they decided to go another way with the youth and did not select me as their Youth Pastor.
However, they did tell that I was liked by 4 of the people on the committee. One of the people that liked me was a teen in the youth group as well as a retired pastor. So that was some really good news to hear. I am glad that I did not totally bomb the whole interview process.
Brett (the person I have been talking with the most throughout this time) gave me some great insight and some resources to help me in the future.
I really enjoyed meeting all of them and I enjoyed gaining this interview experience.
I do appreciate the time they spent with me.
I also learned a lot through this process as well. God showed me something through this. As I mentioned in the first post this came out of nowhere. Just as I was getting down about the whole process and thinking that I was never going to get a good opportunity, failed interview after failed interview, God shows up and gives me this chance to interview and meet some more wonderful people. I DID almost get this position and that means that I still have some learning to do and that God does have an opportunity for me in the future and that this just simply was not it.
Here are links to the rest of the story if you missed any of the parts.

This Time Last Year
The thought of this is a hard thing to remember or think about. This is what my wife, Sunnshyne, posted on Facebook last night...
May 30- june 13 2012 Emmerson was in the hospital. These 14 days were very hard on us and this mommy cried a lot. He was at kidney failure when we took him to the emergency room because of blood in his diaper. We were at St. Joseph Medical Centers ER from 1130am-630pm then transferred to Memorials PICU which we were at until we left for our 10 day stay at Riley Childrens hospital. the first week was bad news after bad news and the thoughts of losing our baby was the worst thing to have stuck in the mind. And being seperated from brooklynn for so long broke my heart even more.
Today as I sat on the couch cuddling my now 1 year old son I think back to those days and thank God for not taking him away from us and blessing us with wonderful nurses and doctors who worked so hard to make my baby better and to help me stay strong for him. Even though there was nothing I could of done to prevent the problem he had I couldn't help but beat myself up. Thank you God for giving us more time with our chunky boogerhead!

These are the links to the original posts from last year. I wrote these posts last year as soon as I could and as the story evolved. It was a long hard few weeks for the Pierce Family.
