Bless the Lord, for he is gracious and merciful. Bless his holy name!
Ladies, I'm in a pickle. God has called and placed me here starting this little church. They are not yet able to pay me a salary or anything. With no husband or family to support me, I have to work a fulltime job as well. I feel so torn... my heart and soul is in His work, yet the bills must be paid. However, I'm in a very stressful job that drains everything within me... so I feel I'm short-changing the church. And too, right now I do everything at the church (preach, teach, webmaster, coordinator, visitation, everything).
I feel guilty praying for the church to be able to support me since money should NEVER be the focus of ministry. However, that is my heart's desire - fulltime ministry. Or at least a low-stress job that will pay the bills and still allow me to devote the time I need to give the church.
Thanks for your prayers!
