Where will the path lead next?

I find myself praying for our next congregation a lot lately.As Robert finishes seminary this coming year life will bring a lot of changes again.Robert is planning on starting the process of finding a new church to pastor. This will mean resumes will begin to be sent in the next couple of months. I pray that the next church is now praying for the right man to come along to love them and care for them.I pray that they want a family that wants to invest the rest of our lives to serve them and encourage them.... worship God with them...sing songs unto our savior with them ....hold the widows hand and pray over their new born babies...cry with them and rejoice with them...for a faithful and loving pastor that studies Gods word seriously and cares deeply about properly instructing them. I pray that there will be friends for our children and mentors that will walk beside them and encourage them in the faith...I pray they will welcome my parents with open arms as they make another move and another church change. We have only served 2 churches in 20+ years so we look forward to where God will send us next so we can begin a long term relationship with a new congregation. I hope our friends will begin to pray with us about how to proceed. We would love it if God sent a church to contact us and could bypass sending out a bunch of resumes. I pray that it will be a clear path set before us. I am excited about Robert getting back in the pulpit.I so enjoy hearing him preach and learning at his feet for so many years. Life seems so stressful and exciting as our first born gets married in a couple of months and Robert finishes school and we find a new church all in one year... yikes! Life is an adventure! I know I can rest in the deep deep love of Jesus as we take this next step
