Well let me start by saying sorry for not keeping up with my blogging, my laptop went :-p and the sight does not agree with my BB.
However I am looking for a little advice at this point;
I have worked for the same company for almost 8 years and was informed a couple of days ago our doors will close for good on the 30th. I have only ever felt accomplished about a few things, my "career" being one of them as I went from lowly operator to VP of Sales and Marketing by way of sheer determination and hard work. This was to be the year I get my 501c and try to purchase a church. Now I am lost. I know how to be a minister, I know how to run an office, I am an O.K. Dah and husband (oh and a good outdoorsman..lol) but none of those things amounts to money or work. Just what does a Minister with no church and a meeger(but loved) flock do in this situation? Do I go through with the heafty investment to get my license and use that to attempt to get my church (which will only run me about 20k pre repairs and can be worked as a lease to buy), do I return to the rat race I despise so much with it's 30min lunch breaks and under appreciative bosses? Do I do both? I just don't know and thought maybe there would be others who have started their church or had to make the unexpected transistion from work to full time ministry who could supply a little advice.
Thank You all for reading wether you are able to help or not and may you be blessed with a rough but rewarding path by which to find grace.
