Hi, Ladies: Would you all please say a special prayer for dh & I? We've been at the new church for about a month now. So far, everything's going pretty good. It's nice to have a "honeymoon," something we didn't experience in the last church.
In the last 2 weeks, we've had about 4 people who have almost died or have received tragic news. Dh was just called to the hospital to a man dying. We're a small church (a little under 50), so this seems a lot for such a small church. Dh has had to be gone a lot, out until the wee morning hours, etc. And please know, I'm not complaining... this is ministry.
But here's my prayer request. I'm still at the same job. By the time I get my youngest to daycare & then to work, I'm on the road an hour. Do that twice a day. And last week I worked 56 plus hours, including Saturday. I truly want to quit work. By the time I get home, I am exhausted. I'm no good for anyone, not for my husband, my children, myself. I feel so guilty. Financially, I'm just not sure how we can make it. But with dh gone so much, I'm not sure how my kids will make it.
I'm exploring options. I've thought about becoming a substitute teacher to help supplement income. I don't know. But it's truly hard when you're an hour away.
So, please pray for us. We need our house to rent or better yet sell. If that were to happen, my heart's desire will be closer to becoming a reality.
Definately understand the small church thing and the people all being hit with illness or bad news. We have just gone through a period where our church had nonstop major illnesses (cancer, heart attacks, ect...including me with two knee surgeries). It is hard on the smaller church when multiple families are under so much. We will pray that God will hear your cries and will give you your hearts desires! God bless, Melissa
