The Eleven and a Half Hour Interview

We were picked up at 8:30 this morning, and got back to the motel at 8:00 this evening. It was a wonderful day. We met with the judicatory people this morning at 9:00. They cleared me for this church with no concerns or reservations. Then we went to lunch, and to the church for the formal interview. It was long, and I had a blast, sharing my perspectives and ideas. From there we had a tour of the church and community. I was impressed with both.
.
Then tonight we went out for a wonderful dinner in an old building that had been renovated and repurposed. I'm tired tonight, but I was energized all day. I like these people and this place.
.
Daughter has done very well. It was a long, boring, day for her, and she was a champ. Tomorrow morning starts at 8:00. I meet them at the church, and the one committee member who was not there today will ride with us to my friend's church. After worship, we'll all go out to eat. It will be fun. Sister may drive over for the morning. She may even bring Short Niece with her. It would be great to see them.
.
After worship and lunch, we will head back to Tiny Village. I should hear from the church within the next month. If the call is offered, I will jump all over it. I hope it does come, but I know that God will call me to the right place at the right time. So if it doesn't come, I will know that this was not the right place for us. Hopefully, that means I won't get depressed if the call doesn't come.

I'll be thinking of you in the morning and during the day tomorrow. This sounds like a great place and I can hardly wait to hear where it is. It's great that DD is cooperative and regulated. She comes through in a pinch!

Thanks for the reminder re: Daughter. She wet the bed within 90 minutes of getting in it tonight. Last night she was dry. I expected this, actually. She didn't get attention from me today. Now I need to go get some sleep before tomorrow morning....
