It was 17 1\/2 hours to Shelby, an evening of laughter, a relaxed interview, and a purring kitty on Monday.  It was a full day of seeing churches, a potluck supper, and THE INTERVIEW on Tuesday (though I was only in for half of it and it was a really chill group).  On Wednesday, we met with the synod in the morning and spent from noon to Thursday morning with my aunt and uncle before getting on a train to head back to Minnesota.  We got back to Madison around noon.  <\/p>\n<p>Montana feels like home now strangely enough and Madison just doesn&#8217;t feel &#8220;right&#8221; anymore.  I guess the Spirit is trying to move me to that place where I know what God is calling me to do &#8212; I just wish it wasn&#8217;t so painful.  I forsee more tears as I pack, as I worship this weekend, as I go through next week (if they vote to call us on Sunday *crossing fingers*), and as I talk with people.  I have positive job prospects in Montana &#8212; they&#8217;re dying for substitute teachers.  Here, I&#8217;d be competing for the secretary job that just opened up at LQP Church.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping that we can tie up all the loose ends here because I really want to get to Montana and kind of start over.  I don&#8217;t want the financial mire that we&#8217;ve been in for the last 2 years to hang over us (and Jon&#8217;s severance package should help).  I want people my age to hang out with and fellowship with (which I *would* have).<\/p>\n<p>Maybe more to come as I try to sort out all the stuff in my mind&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been an interesting week since getting on the #27 at St. Cloud on Monday morning at 12:45 am.
