The key to the puzzle was this: "Most of what I'm typing has nothing to do with anything." You see, all that mattered was the first letter in each paragraph, which, when put together, spelled out the words "Enid, Oklahoma." And why did I give you a puzzle about Enid, Oklahoma, you ask? Well...
There's this cool place in Enid, Oklahoma called Redeemer Lutheran Church. They happen to be in need of a Director of Christian Education. They issued me a call to serve as their DCE, and yesterday afternoon, I officially accepted that call.
That's right -- after over two years of waiting, I have a call!!
I'll primarily be doing parish education for all ages, with a particular focus on the youth. I'll also be helping out at Camp Lutherhaven for two weeks every summer. I'll be heading down to Enid on September 27th and my commissioning and installation will be in October (possibly the 18th).
I'm extremely excited. I can't wait to get down to Oklahoma and start the work God has for me there!! Before I go off to pack intensely for the rest of the day, I just want to say THANK YOU to all the people who have been praying for me. During this period of waiting, it's meant so much to know that I'm in your thoughts and prayers. I've always known that I am not alone.
This was my face when I received my call papers on Friday!
