We’re cheering you on, Tom, as well. Whatever God is calling you to do, you have our support.

This is the first from me on your site bud. I know you’ve been waiting.

You are envied by a lot of people for being able to follow dreams and opportunities. Singleness is a blessing and I feel somewhat of a gift from God. Paul writes that he wished all his audience were single so they could devote more time to the commission if that were possible. Colorado is a wilderness in so many ways. Feel lucky you have a job that affords you to live there, I hear it is quite expensive. It is amazing that the longer I live the more I hear of God impressing on people to change or get out of their comfort-rut. I too have heard the call of God to make a change, however being married with 5 in the home I need more than just an “impression”. As a friend once put it, “Panama, God? I’m going to need to see some I.D.” I hear you have studied Wild at Heart. You are truly there in the author’s backyard. I wish nothing but the absolute best for you there and I know you will find your purpose.

Lol!

Hey, you ready for some real smiles?

I can email them to you. Some are, less than appropriate for here, but most are really cool.

Hehe, sorry. It’s my way of showing affection, honest. Melissa can vouch for this, can’t you Kiddo?

Hey all my beautiful friends!

Thanks for the cool comments. They sure mean a lot lately.

Jeff, you’re right, I should have made that more clear. The answer I was expecting, that burning bush declaration to go one way or the other, came much later.
But what I prayed for, I got in spades: peace.

Lynda, the view up here is great!

Ang, that’s so cool about your youth work. That’s such a key time for kids, you know? I remember looking up so highly to my youth pastors. Great opportunities for good there.

James & Jules, you guys are such great encouragement. I love how sincere you kids are.

Rob,

You said you didn’t get your answer in the lobby of the church, but I’m sure I remember you telling me that afternoon that you were going to be praying more for peace than for the decision itself. I believe God gave you exactly what you asked for, and it was exactly what you needed at the time.

It’s really exciting to see the Colorado adventure that you’re on, but even cooler to see the spiritual journey that supports it!

very cool!
i had a very similar experience last week while working on homework for my masters class… i had been considering dropping out & doing a transition to teaching course instead.. but i felt God telling me to stay with the masters program. i have a calling to youth ministry, so i need to be faithful.
of course, i’m still completely clueless about the job situation.. but at least i have a few options!

Hi Rob,
I just read your blog. As always I am touched by your writing and sentiments. Watching you progress through this process of decision has been great. Even though it probably wasn’t feeling so great for you during a lot of the time. I am slowly seeing a light in you that I feel has been dim for awhile. God is always walking with us, we just have to slow down and let Him be the guide.
Are you experiencing a Rocky Mountain High today!!
Makes me hum John Denver’s song! la, la, lalalaaaa… Hee Hee. Have a super week!
