Waiting on God...



It's been a busy week with lots of time spent with friends, old and new. Last Thursday evening we had a visit with Don and Jean Christman, friends from up north who were traveling through San Antonio enjoying the good weather down here. Since it was a work night, we didn't have a lot of time, but we enjoyed sharing a meal and catching up on news from home.

Then, the next night we had invited some new neighbors over for dinner and games. They just moved here from Arkansas and I have their youngest daughter in school. It was fun getting to know new friends and we invited them to join us at Oak Hills since they're looking for a church.

Larry and I are on a committee to plant a new church in our area and we're anxoius to find out what building Oak Hills is going to purchase for the new church plant. Our first meeting is scheduled for February 22nd and it appears to be moving very fast. We hate to leave the main campus of Oak Hills, but feel as though God may have moved us here for this very reason.

Saturday was a beautiful day and since Larry had to work, Shelley and I went downtown to explore a bit. In addition to the rodeo which kicks off next week, there was a huge Asian festival at the Institute of Texan Cultures. I had never been there and found a lot of Texas history I wasn't aware of. Shelley was, of course, very interested in all the Scottish influence.








Shelley is spending all her time filling out job applications, but we're finding that no one is hiring full time help right now due to the economy. It looks like she may have to take a couple of part time jobs while she waits and just pay for temporary insurance...kind of disappointing for all of us. In the meantime, she seems to be getting involved at CBC. She's gone tonight at a Superbowl party for the College/ Career group. We're all praying God quickly shows us what His plan is not only for her, but for all of us.
