So I have to admit, the last 6 months have been difficult.  Trevor finished his job at the Boissevain MB church at the end of April, and since then we have felt that we were in our own little "wandering in the wilderness" experience.  Although many lessons have been learned, it has felt very dry.  The frustration of not doing what we felt called to do, sapped our life, and made us question whether or not we were called in the first place.  Through it all, God has been faithful. Reassuring us of our calling, and teaching us some very important lessons, that God could only have taught us in the darkest of times.  As much as I wish he would have chosen to just write me a letter on the things I should work on, he knew this experience would be far more effective.  So in the mids of our waiting and learning, God was working things out.  Getting the next part of our journey set while we were getting ourselves prepared.

Two days after Trevor started his job at Western Archrib back in May, we got a call from Glencross Church in Morden, asking if Trevor would apply to be their youth pastor.  We were quite confused as we felt that God was asking us to wait in Boissevain for a while.  We were in no hurry to rush off to another job, as we were still healing from the last.  We quietly pursued the Glencross job in the spring, but once school was out the process slowed to a crawl, and we waited once again.  

Mid August we had a formal interview, mid september Trevor candidated, and last monday, he was offered the job.  He accepted.  Our candidating experience was wonderful.  We had a great time getting to know the youth, parents, and other members of the church.  What a warm and welcoming place.

Here is where it Gets crazy.  The last week and a half have been nothing short of a miracle!  On Monday evening Trevor got the job.  Tuesday afternoon we put our house up for sale. By wednesday noon we had sold our house!  18 hours on the market.  In Boissevain that is unheard of.  Thursday we got pre-approval for a new mortgage.  Friday we took a deep breath.  Saturday we went house shopping in Morden, found a house we love, and made an offer.  They accepted our offer that evening.  Wow. I have signed a lot of paperwork this week.  Monday I got a stack of boxes and I have been packing ever since.  

In the last year, it has felt like we were swimming upstream.  Every step forward was met with a shove backwards.  It has been difficult.  Thankfully it looks like we are done with the wilderness for a while.  The road has been cleared before us and we can see where God is leading.   I'm not saying Morden is the promised land, but it sure is nice to know where God wants us to go.
