First Round

The first 12 PIFs have been sent off and already I've heard back from 4 churches. 2 are at the end of their process, thank you very much, and 2 just wanted to let me know they received my PIF.

I must say, I have heard that committees are terrible about getting back to you and while I still assume this will be true for many - if not most - and especially after the first contact, it was nice to know that things had been received.

By the way, the 2 churches I know I'm not being called to - one's in Texas (thank you God!!!) and one in Minnesota (brrrr).

She Did It!

Okay, so it's been brought to my attention that my attention has not been paid to this little blog. I warned that was a possbility! But huge things have happened so I probably better blog about them.

I have put my PIF out there into the wide world. A couple weeks ago I was live online and today I sent copies of my PIF (resume for you non-church types) to 12 different search committees. I'll be happy if I hear back from 1.

But yeah - it's out there. And I've become more and more comfortable with the thought of leaving my current call. Less excited about trying to sell my house in this awesome market, but I'll just have to trust and all that.

Not much else is going on - Man Who Makes Me Cry... no longer comes to church when I preach and leaves before I pray when OP preaches. That's pretty impressive. I've had no more encounters with silly former boyfriends and have enjoyed some wonderful friends lately. Oh, and of course, I basked in the glory that was Jan 20th, 2009 at the National Mall. Yep, it was pretty much one of the best things I've ever done.

I'm sure as this call process continues I'll have some fun stories. So, until then...
