So...
I haven't been doing much blogging (or much or any writing, for that matter).
For real, I've just been busy. As I made mention of in the last blog, I was preparing for my ordination, I preached last month (same day as my ordination), I've been working on some projects for the ministry, I've been to two training sessions for the ministry's fundraising efforts, and I work a full-time, third shift job.
Honestly, I've been kinda WORE OUT - I can't wait for a vacation (hopefully, I'll get to do something before my August trip to Gatlinburg). I know that things are going to change soon, but I have to be ever mindful to be faithful with what God has put in my hand to do.
I put a vlog up about it, but honestly, this job is testing me. They want to call me in the office every I come in a few minutes late from church (granted, it IS just about every Tuesday and Thursday, but they know why I'm late), but when I suggust switching to days as a resolution for being tardy, they get brand-new on me. I've already tried switching my schedule to try to work around church, to no avail. There are no other options. So, hopefully, God will open up another opportunity before they try to get rid of me. Don't get me wrong - I like my job (the money, the people, et cetera). But, ministry is first, and since there's a conflict between the job and ministry, the job has to go.
Plus, I've missed about four Sundays in a row because I just couldn't function. I usually get up to pray/study/run errands before church. Then, I don't get home from church until 6:30-7:00pm. Then, I have to run out the door to go work eight hours.... Again, day shift would resolve the fact that I'd have to be up for 24-30 hours on Sundays, but since that option isn't available....
Well, it's 2:39, and I'm going to go lay it down for a few; I have Intercessory Prayer Service, then work (groan) tonight.
