Things I love about my new job

I was thinking that I hadn't written much about the new job yet and since that was the purpose of the whole move, I thought I should.

Here is a list of some of the reasons I like my new job:

• They have WOMEN in senior leadership positions - and a lot of them! They even have men in assistant positions. It only makes sense, but it makes sense in a lot of other places too and doesn't happen.
• There's ethnic diversity all over the organizaiton too!
• They spend an hour in prayer EVERY day (1/2 hour individually and 1/2 hour corporately) and everyone participates!
• Jars of Clay came to the prayer meeting last week.
• A guy who wrote one of my textbooks for my Master's courses came to prayer meeting today.
• They believe that just because they're a nonprofit, it doesn't mean they can give up having intense excellency. They also believe they owe that same standard to their clients - regardless of the fact that the clients are usually very poor and can't demand that excellency for themselves.
• They realize that the heart of Jesus is about more than just evangelism or personal spirituality - it's about bringing God's desire for justice and freedom to fulfillment on earth.
• There are a lot of people there that are a lot smarter than me who are going to teach me great things about running an organization.
• Everyone has been incredibly friendly.

While it's definitely a much more intense environment than I'm used to, and I miss my Berean friends terribly, there's a lot I appreciate about it already. I'm going to be BUSY! Please pray for my brain to be able to digest everything.

Thank you everyone!
