Winter 2013 Newsletter

For some reason, I can't get the pdf of our newsletter onto the blog.  Go figure.  Let me know if you want one via email, with pics.

Graduation: May 2013
With only 2 months until graduation, we are trusting God to place us in the right church at the right time.  

Two months until graduation begs the question, “What’s next, Browns?”  We can honestly say we don’t know.  Brian has applied for a number of jobs, Assistant Pastor or Solo Pastor mostly, but so far we don’t have much insight into where God is taking us.  We are learning to take life a day at a time, faithfully doing the work that is put before us.
What we are learning more than ever is that God loves us perfectly and is caring for us even in this time of uncertainty.  We are practicing resting in His goodness and His perfect plan.  Someone gave me a word picture I (Rebecca) like: our future is still blurry and out of focus.  It is down there, at the end of this tunnel named seminary.  We know it’s coming, and we couldn’t stop it if we tried, but we can’t quite make out what any of the details are.  So we wait.  And PRAY.  We are eager for a call, but we will love people here until God provides one.
For now, Brian continues working as a Missions Intern at the Kirk of the Hills, the Aftercare Director of Kirk Day School, and a researcher with the Missouri cohort of the Pastor’s Summit.  I am an aide with the 3 year old class as well as PE teacher at Covenant Christian School.  I’m also a researcher with the Pastor’s Summit, just quarterly.  All of these jobs end in May.  Please PRAY with us for whatever is next, that we will trust God’s faithful timing.
        But if we hope for what we do not see, we 
        wait for it with patience. Romans 8:25
