More than a Glimmer

My last 'update' was more of a mini-update...so here is my full blown McCullough household update. :)
We did move back to Charlotte and in with some friends from church. They have been wonderful to offer up their home for us to stay in. It has been fun staying with them and great being able to share food costs and split up cooking nights. Brad has been able to help us with some automotive work as well, we are so thankful! (Especially when I backed Adam's truck into a pole in the parking lot at my job and now he definitely needs a new bumper!) Speaking of my job, I did end up working for Philip...a friend from high school who owns a printing company. I am helping with his office work/quickbooks etc.
In addition to all that, and most importantly...Adam got the job we mentioned in a previous post! Praise the Lord!! He went through a lengthy application/interview process and last Monday they offered him the position. He will be working for the Hartford doing commercial underwriting. Our dear friend Scott has been very helpful to us in this process. So, Adam starts this coming Monday! We are so pumped!
We put our house on the rental market after absolutely zero luck trying to sell and it rented within a week. Yay for renters and money coming in to pay the mortgage on the house in Georgia!
We are still trying to sell Adam's truck to further us along in the Dave Ramsey plan and on the track to being debt free. We have had several people show interest, so hopefully they will buy it.
Some of you may be thinking...well, what about church? We are going to Team Church which is my 'home' church here in Matthews. It is an awesome community of believers and we have been welcomed back with open arms. Adam will be teaching the Alpha Males, a high school group of guys emphasizing leadership. I will be teaching 9th grade girls. We are both excited to be serving in church again. In addition to that, we have joined a hometeam of our own studying the book Trusting God by Jerry Bridges. What a great study for where we have been the last 6 months! God has provided in so many ways.
So...as I mentioned in my 'things are lookin up' post, there was indeed a glimmer of hope. We have now seen that the glimmer was actually a very bright light at the end of a 5 ish month long tunnel. We are so blessed, thankful, and excited about this new season of life!
Thanks to all who are joining us in this adventure via blog world! :)

Ginny- that is awesome you are able to work with Philip. I know he was needing help. I am glad that Adam got a job. Good Luck with the Dave Ramsey plan. I have heard of it, but not sure what it entails. Hope all is well!

Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful.

Fish on Land

I was telling my friend Kristi the other day that we sordof feel like Fish on Land. Out of place, awkward, and not sure what we are supposed to do to survive. Our lives have been a whirlwind since...well...awhile. We left the church Adam was on staff with Easter Sunday. Since then, we have been praying and asking God what and where we are supposed to do next. Move to Charlotte, move to Wilmington, move to somewhere a church hires us. Do we look for church positions or look for secular jobs...do we look for student ministry jobs or another type of ministry? Do we sell or rent our house? What are we supposed to do? The answer to these questions are not yet decided. We have had some contacts for jobs but nothing has come through yet. We think we might want to move to Wilmington if we can find something. We pray every night asking God that we stay in His will. Knowing all along that what His will might be is that we just trust in Him and be patient. Trusting that He will provide. That H

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I
