Which one shall it be?!

So in March we were told we needed to start looking for  a job because come May we wouldn't have one. Well that was like getting hit by a semi! We thought we would have through the summer, no such luck! So Josh started looking, well actually after about a two weeks of me his lovely wife bugging him to death to get his resume done! 
 OUR FIRST CONTACT
Our home church of Cedar Ridge (the place we fell in love...aaahhh) recently started a satellite church in Sapulpa! And guess what they are looking for a part time music minister. Yea I said part time but hey my mom loves the idea of us living in the same town! (Oh and yes you too Angie) Plus Josh would get to work with Harold who has been a huge mentor for him!
OUR SECOND CONTACT
About a month ago we were contacted by a guy in Muncie,IN! Yes a very long way from here but the half way point of New Jersey and Oklahoma! This position is Ball State University Campus Minister. Josh would be wearing many different hats! My down side is that there are only 75 sunny days out of the year, very depressing. We drive up there for an interview in three weeks!
OUR THIRD CONTACT
Yesterday Josh was e-mailed by a pastor in St. Joe, MO. Josh had sent him an e-mail but didn't really hear anything else, until a very random e-mail. It said something like I am friends with Harold Pittman and he highly recommends you. Are you still interested in the position? This one is fully a Music Minister in a church of about 325. Random but interesting.
OUR FOURTH CONTACT
Also yesterday Josh and I were taking a much needed nap when we were awoken by his cell phone! So he answers it with a groggy voice and a little confusion!!! The man introduces himself and says "we just received your e-mail we would love to have you come down (Katy, TX). Can I throw you a curve ball and ask if you and your wife could fly down here this weekend?" Well of course we had to say no, that was a little short notice! But the man was not discouraged and asked for a skype interview sometime this week!

So I am thinking we should put them all in a hat and draw one out! Ok maybe not, but hey which ever we pick it will be an adventure!
