I suppose that waiting has never been my strong suit. It probably isn't high on anyone's list of things most liked. Right now I'm finding myself very impatient with waiting for an answer. Frankly, it's not very becomming of me to show such little patience...but honesty must prevail as I open my life for others to see.
Do you remember as a kid how long it was from one birthday to the next? Do you recall having to wait until Christmas came to get to open the presents under the tree? Well, that's what I'm experiencing right now. I think I know the answer to what I'm waiting for. But until that answer comes it's hard not be anxious.
Yes, I know, the Lord told us not be anxious or worry about anything. Yes, I'm aware that patience is one of the ingredients of the fruit of the Spirit. That doesn't mean that I've mastered the art of waiting without undue concern. I thought I'd gotten better at that until now...It's been less than 2 weeks since my last contact and for some reason I think they should have made a decision by now.
Even as I write this post I recognize how silly it is to so impatient. A decision is being made concerning the welfare of two churches. That can't be taken lightly! That's it! It's not about me at all. Whether or not I am the one chosen to take a particular position is up to God and the men He has entrusted with that decision. I WILL wait for the Lord! (But I sure do wish He'd hurry and let me know what that decision is!)

We are praying for you guys and hope that you get your answer one way or another soon! Danny is also waiting for an answer from the Yukon PD. You're right though- they aren't leaving you in suspense to make you feel anxious but rather to make a HUGE decision the right one for the church congregation. And the reward will be worth the wait :-)
