At the end of each worship service today I did two things: I thanked Paige Self for her hard work, serving as a youth intern with us since March. During our youth ministry vacancy, she has filled many gaps to keep things going. We are thankful for her and commit to pray for her and (after THIS Saturday) her HUSBAND Patrick McCabe as they move to Wake Forest, NC, where Patrick is enrolled at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Marriage is never easy, and seminary presents an entirely different set of stressers for them. So pray for them!!!!
SECOND, PRAY FOR OUR YOUTH PASTOR SEARCH!! God has the right person out there for us. Already chosen by His hand. Our personnel team is working as hard as we can, but God will do this in HIS timing and not ours. Many people are starting to get antsy … Honestly, I am the antsiest of all!! But we MUST allow God to do this in His timing. Not ours. We don’t need to hire someone … We need to FIND GOD’S CHOSEN ONE FOR THIS MOST IMPORTANT ROLE!!
The Random Thinker 
Amen…
