confession's is moving!

We are helping with a church plant in Kentucky, and we need some support!

God has put in on Justin’s heart for many years to plant a church. He recently had the opportunity to attend a conference full of church planters and organizations that help people do so. It rocked his world and he was ready to do it in an instant. The biggest hurdle he had to conquer was God changing Heather’s heart and making her open to the idea, which she was not in any way! Then came our visit to Louisville and our meetings with friends of a long time who were planting a church there. It felt like home, we loved their vision for church, and their passion for winning lost people to GOD! In that moment we knew that this is where God meant for us to be. Heather was even excited about the idea, which truly showed us that God was working in our lives and this is where what he wanted for us.

As the church we are moving to start is only in the forming stages and probably will not be able to pay us for a while we had also been applying for jobs and sending out resume’s and praying for everything to fall in place in God’s timing. We KNOW that God had huge plans for us, as he says in Jer 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” We KNOW that this is what God has in store for us, so he will provide a way for us to get there and the money to survive until we get jobs! We have started an online donation fund to help, just like with missionaries we are going to need the love, support, and prayers of our family and friends to get us through this little challenge in our lives. If you can help support our call financially thank you so much, if you cant we totally understand and just ask for prayers and some extra love as we go through this! Thank you so much for everything that you do, the love you pour on us, and the prayers we know you constantly cover us with. We would not be the people we are today without people like you in our lives.

If you can help financially in any way please visit http://www.plumfund.com/pf/thecarners. All of the money we receive will be going to our relocating costs, with anything that is left over going directly to our new church home HopeCulture.tv. I encourage you to check out the church website, watch the videos, sign up for the email list. Its such an exciting yet scary time for the Carners!

Taking what she's given cause she's working for a living...

There is a difference between a job and a career.

I love helping people discover what area of work is best for them. Its always fun to listen to someone and help them see what they love doing and would be really good at. When you get into a position like that it should be your career. The thing you can dedicate your life to and be proud to say that you do.  Once you obtain said career your ultimate goal is always to obtain your dream job in that career. That coveted position that you dreamt of having from the minute you figured out what it was that you wanted to do with your life.

A job is the thing that you are doing just to make money. It may be while you are in school learning to do what you want your career to be, or it may be just something between career positions. You will know its just a job because it does not fulfill you. Its kinda that thing you hate going to every day, and watch the clock until your hours are completed.

So whats this about? (Because this is always about that!)

It always baffles me when someone talks about how much they want their dream job, how they can't wait to work at "insertdreamcompanyhere" and yet, they can not succeed at their current position.

If you can't show up on time, complete your assigned tasks with excellence, have a positive attitude, and excel at your current position... what makes you think that you deserve your dream job?

I believe that you should work ANY job as if it were your dream job. If you work at McDonalds, do your best at whatever it is that you do there. If you fail at even the most mundane tasks, and can't work with pride and professionalism there, what is to make anyone believe that you would do well at your dream job?

So do what you do with pride, work well with others, and pretend that it is your dream job! Maybe one day you can stop pretending and you will wake up and realize you have your dream job!
