What's Next?
If I had a list of frequently asked questions...this would be at the top of it. What are you going to do after the school? Probably one of the hardest to ever answer...it is not as simple in ministry as applying for a job, getting it, and going. The pieces of people and relationships and God's leading make the end result beautiful, but the process messier.
But never fear!! I do know the next brief step...beyond that...well we'll see as it gets closer. I've accepted the position of Worship Leader for the Spy Project (Summer Project Youth) at Fieldstone UMC in Christiansburg, VA. If you know my story of the past few years, you'll know that Mitch and I tried living there in the back of the church a few years ago... and back then it was a combination of bad timing and differing expectations that led to my move back home. BUT with a change over in staff, and prompting of the Spirit, we're giving it another go (although sans Mitch and this is only a two month summer camp deal) and I am so excited to be headed back to the beautiful Blue Ridge for the summer. Rocky mountain sunsets are awesome but they are nothing compared to an afternoon in the Appalachian mountains.
Check out the camp here for more info. It's a summer work camp for middle and high school age students to do construction projects and participate in other various ministry opportunities in the New River Valley. It's going to be fun to unpack what I've learned about worship and community over the last 9 months in a continual leading environment.
And to my Northern Virginian loves...I'll be home the evening of May 31st and then I'll be leaving the evening of June 5 or the morning of the 6th.... five days to see everyone and get my stuff moved back and in order! Can't wait to be back East!
