I'm unavoidably frustrated at the fact that I've found so little time to blog these days. Yet I find myself quite thankful at the circumstances.
There are two circumstances I'd like to highlight. The first is work. To say that I'm too busy working is an excuse, not a reason, yet I find myself thankful to have as much work as I do, in the current economic environment. I know of others who are struggling, and I'm thankful to God for how He has provided for us through my job.
The second circumstance that I wanted to highlight is our church's ongoing search for a new pastor. For reasons only He knows, God put me on the pastoral search committee. It has been a lot of work, but our work appears to be nearing an end, as we have extended an offer, and we are going through the congregational affirmation process beginning this week.
And about #2, I would just say that even though only God knows His reasons, we have seen His sovereign hand throughout the search, including several things about our final candidate, and we are trusting Him to bring our search to fulfillment.
So although I've not had time for much blogging, I'm thankful for God's work and His provision in my life.

And let me add that I'm thankful that God has worked so much in your candidate's life, and in that of his current (soon to be previous?) church. We had a prayer meeting on Wednesday and there was a realization of how much God has worked in all of us as we have had to wake up to the reality of this now-imminent change.
