Re: Please pray for me
Praying for you but as a unbiased reader of what you have written about your plight I have some questions. You talk about only working the 25-30 hours per week but don't mention what you have done to attain full time work or a second job. Even delivering pizza's at night could pretty much double your current income and there are other alternatives also. Why are you not able to use your college degree to get a decent paying job? As a preacher you must be articulate and most likely a person with good communication skills. I would think even a customer service job that doesn't require your degree would at least double the income you describe.
I understand your frustration and the temptation to believe that a geographic change will change things but if you are struggling to make it with no mortgage or car payment I can't imagine a different place where you will be paying rent or a mortgage wouldbe better unless you had a well paying job secured at the new location before you moved there.
If you don't secure a full time job bringing in more income even if you sell the mobile home and property you inherited you will end up just having to use that money to get by and in a year or two will be back in the same position you are now in.
I pray that you find the full time position that will bring you the income you need to support your family.
God Bless You!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
