KINK in the PLANS

Just when you think you have it ALL planned out..........and have FINALLY gotten it together.......A BIG KINK IS THROWN INTO YOUR PATH.

Being Bi-Vocational means that Roger has a secular job that pays our bills.  In all honesty, the money our church pays us does not even pay all of our expenses.

We had plans..........

Roger is within two years of retiring from his secular job.

January will mark our 20th year of Ministry at Whites Creek Baptist Church.  Our plans was in two years to be able to devote MORE time and energy to our GROWING CHURCH. 

We had things all mapped out.

He just found out that his secular job is "out-Sourcing" his entire computer department and much of the company to a company in India. 

OUCH!!!

Now....at 60 years old............instead of sitting back and enjoying the downward ride for two more years.............he is UPDATING his RESUME. 

OUCH!!! 

A change in careers WAS NOT in our carefully laid out plans.

AND......even though this was NOT in OUR PLANS..................GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL. 

He sees the BIG picture and we only see the small tunnel.

There is no doubt in my mind.....God will take care of us. 

One of the lessons we have learned in life...............just go with the flow.

Twenty-five years ago.....if you had told me that we would move three hours from our "homes" and families............I would have said you were crazy.

BUT.....when we let go and allowed God to Guide us..............we wound up 3 hours from "home" and wound up at our church. 

GOD HAD OTHER PLANS.

I know many of you have had kinks thrown in your plans also.  Tara blogged about "her kink" last week.............her husband taking a position in a church and them having to leave their "comfort zone."

I would LOVE to hear about some of your "KINKS".

THROUGH IT ALL...........GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!
