I've been on my current job for over three years now (pastoring two of those years). God blessed me with this position. I know this and am grateful for it. It's flexible enough that I've been able to take care of things for the church and my family and for that I'm really, really grateful.
When my son was smaller he went to the day care a few doors down and we would spend lunch time together. We'd go to the park and hang out. I loved those times together.
This job has been a blessing to the ministry.
Having said all that, I've been ready to go for the past year and a half. I've sent out resume after resume, been on a bunch of interviews and nothing. I'm so frustrated because I really want out of here. I'm bored out of my skull and I can't express to you how badly I do not want to be here after November. The real craziness begins and will last through the holidays well into February. I don't want to be here. But God has cemented every door leading out of here.
Now that there has been a shift in the ministry, I'm wondering ok now God can I be released from this place?
I believe in this phase of my life, I really need to be available to my kids in the afternoons.
Will you please pray that whatever God's will for me in regards to employment that it be made known. If I've got to stick it out, then I'll need his grace to do that because this job grieves me.
I so want out of here. We're moving in a few weeks and my new commute is an hour and a half. I can't do any afterschool activities with the kids getting home at 6:30 - 7:00 p.m. My daughter is a sophomore and needs to be involved in things for scholarship and transcripts sake. My son wants to play football but that's not going to happen either with this new commute.
Please pray for me. It gets harder with each passing day to bring myself into the office.
I really need your prayers and an answer from the Father.
Know that God is always faithful! You are in my prayers. Last year at this time I was working as a Pre-K teacher at a school with 24 four year olds by myself. I was in a bad situation where I was being accused and talked about for something I did not do. The pay was bad, no insurance etc. I felt it was time to move in. I faxed and faxed places and had even gotten two jobs that pulled out the last minute. I felt stuck and upset and finally gave it over to God. A week later I looked online at some temp places for office jobs. I called, made an appointment and met the President of Terri Neese Personnel and within two weeks I had a job and have been there ever since. God is faithful! Just let Him guide you. Does that mean not do anything? No, but it does mean asking God for peace of heart and mind and the willingness to wait on His timing!
