from Chunk with love
Well Rhonda, since you asked, here's an update from the Pant's family. (dude, Rhonda, you got your name in here twice now. Rhonda.[ooooh, thrice!])Heather and I are excited to say that we heard word from The Cause, and they offered me a part-time job and temporary housing, so we are moving down there the first full week in Feb. Our official move date will probably be around the 8th or so because I have a few games to do up here and we still have to pack and figure out how and where we are moving all of our.... stuff.
So, yay. Ok, more like WOOHOO!!! YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! (gasp) WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! yippee. We are so stoked. I'm actually going to be driving down to the base on Thursday and then on Friday I will be flying out to Nashville with Lou Engle to shoot some footage for TheCall. Then I come back home, do a game on Saturday, Superbowl party on Sunday, another game on Monday, and then we move. We might need some help with that part.
Oh, the Wilchers have been kind enough to host a going away party for the three of us on Wednesday the 31st at 7pm. Just incase you want to come. If you know all three of us, and you're one of the 4 people that still read this, you're invited! :)
Funny, sad, ironic story. On the way back from the Ingleside Abortion Clinic prayer siege today I stopped off at KPC to make sure they knew I was coming back for my desk. Well, a congregation member stopped me and asked how my wife and baby was and asked when I was going to start the third service. Oh brother. They still don't know I'm gone. I haven't been at church the last few weeks because I have been trying to scoop up any available game I can get, so I don't know, but I'm willing to assume they haven't said anything about it. I'm not looking for a pat on the back or a farewell party from them, but I don't want people to think that I left on bad terms. I'm still not sure people on staff know what's going on. The few people that I do know think that I'm going off to join the Morning Star conference, and one person thought I was going to Scott's old church in Charlotte. I'm really not even worried about it, I just don't want to burn any bridges. Ok, maybe some. :)
Baby Zay is so cute. He came with Life Ministries out to the Clinic today to pray and protest, and he was fussy and disturbed the whole time. I know he knows what's going on there. It brings the whole fight into a brand new light having a baby out there. You look at him and think, "how could anyone not want that?". God, open up people's eyes to the truth. Some "nurse" inside the clinic called the cops on us claiming that he wasn't dressed right for the cold. Just proves that they will go to any length to discourage us. But Natanya said that it was crazy that a place that was murdering children would look out the window and falsely acuse us of not taking care of our baby. That's twisted.
Get ready, God is coming.

a different plan
Heather and I are still moving to Fort Mill, SC. I am typing this from the House of Prayer at The Cause base during TheCall Relaunch. It is four days of mobilizing, planning, assimilating and prepping for TheCall Nashville on 07/07/07. I was brought here to shoot some footage and perform some interviews, but I found out that they can't offer me a full-time or even part-time position on staff right now. I haven't heard back from Morning Star either about their Video Editor position either, but now that I have a chance to breathe from working at a church, I've realized that I don't really WANT to go back into that atmosphere yet. That's not to say that I want to leave ministry, for there is nothing that could get me to abandon God's call on my life. I know that God calls different people for different positions at different times. He's a creative God, he can do crazy things that don't seem to make sense to us. Shoot, I don't even know where I'll be next week, but I'm trusting God to lead me. One thing I've learned this week, that after the fact feels so elementary, is that because God is in a relationship with me, He needs me to talk to him and ask him questions, and wait for His answer. I can't just sit back and say, "Oh, well, If God wants it to happen it will happen". God won't do my part and I can't do God's part. I need to SEEK him that I may FIND him. I have to actively be talking and praying and worshiping and running after Him with complete abandon and confidence that HE LOVES ME and HE IS LISTENING TO ME. I don't have to live the way I'm living, and I don't have to put up with the way that the world is. I will not be passive anymore. I'm not going to start with the whole "name it and claim it" crap because that centers around self and not on what God's priority is. If my heart is not right, and my motives are not right, then it will trip up everything else that God wants to do with my life. Stuff is just stuff, it's going to fall apart, burn, become outdated, get lost or forgotten, but the heritage that God has left and the inheritance of justice that He has given me for myself, my family, my city, my nation and my world is ETERNAL./rant.
I'm so excited.
I want to get a job at Starbucks just so I can take advantage of the health benefits and get my co-workers saved. I want to position myself in the culture so that I can infect a generation with the epidemic of revival. And if that starts with serving coffee or cleaning tables, then I'm ready. Let's go.
