Re-Starting the Candidacy Process

I am starting the process to re-apply for candidacy in the ELCA. I’m taking it easy this time and writing my essay slowly and choosing my words carefully. As I am in this process, I would like to ask that people keep me in prayer. I didn’t ask for prayer last time and I think it would have made a difference.

Here are my specific requests:
-Pray for me as I write my essay to express myself and my call in a way that communicates that it isn’t about what I want, but about what God has called me to do
-Pray for me in the process as I deal with interviews and psych testing
-Pray for a job for me in the meantime

If anyone wants to proofread my essay, also let me know.

  1. I used to proofread for a living. You can email it to me anytime. 🙂

  2. You will be in my prayers. And I’d be happy to proofread your essay, as well. I’ve never been a professional proofreader, but as a professional writer for the past 20+ years it’s a skill I’ve had to develop some facility for.

  3. Prayers being lifted here – both by me and by the congregational group who has accepted the responsibility of praying for all those who are exploring their call to ordered ministry.

    Blessings, Jen!
