Spice Girls and Interviews

The Spice Girls have extended their world tour and now are coming to Philadelphia next february. Boy i can’t wait……

On more of a serious note, i had my interview to become a Mission Developer. It was about an hour and a half. They did not so much want to hear my theory about certain things– they wanted to hear my real life experiences. It was not a bad interview. I felt pretty comfortable. The one thing that I was surprised about was that I talked more about my experiences as a Youth Director than I did about things that have happened during seminary. I don’t know if it was because I was there for two years and I felt like I had more “control” of my ministry rather than doing things for the sake of evaluation and doing things to make my supervisor happy.
Now don’t get me wrong I loved internship and I learned alot but I did not feel alot of it was “my” ministry. But besides my internship project, could I expect it to be “my” ministry?

Anyway, the person who interviewed me is going on vacation for a week and then will get back to me about moving forward with the second interview or not. I guess the next interview would be three to four hours long.

I could not get a read about how I did. I answered the questions and I felt good about it but you need certain skills to do this kind of job (church planter) and if I don’t have those type of skills that does not mean that I will not be a good pastor, and I need to remember that.

I have been sitting on the couch for the last four hours. It has been the first time that I have taken a break since the end of thanksgiving. I have despertly needed this time for rest. My back still hurts pretty bad. I suffered alot during my six hours of class yesterday. But I made it through.

Next week is the last week of classes. I have two presentations to do next week and I have three more papers to write. The semester is almost over and then I will REALLY be able to rest after that.

I have not been able to fully get in the Christmas mode yet. I have not had the chance to get to our storage unit for the Christmas tree and I have not had time to go Christmas shopping. I have not time to even think about Christmas. Hopefully this weekend.

Back to rest and perhaps some reading.
