It's Monday... back to work!

I used to not be thrilled when monday rolled around and I had to work but now I love waking up on Mondays with my new job!

As I mentioned in my last post my job has three categories. Before I head off to lead trips in another two weeks I really need to get cracking on fundraising!

I've been reading this book... "Funding Your Ministry"

Who knew that I would still be getting assigned readings with my job? 

Not me!

As I stated earlier fundraising ins't really going to be my thing.

 It's great that they gave me this book to help me out!

So here is what I learned in Chapter 1...

On the first page the book caught me off guard and peaked my interest with this...

"No, I've quit my job. I'm in God's work now. I've got to support my family. These ladies are glad I've come. Go ahead, turn to the money page."

This was embedded in a story about a man going to speak to some woman who appeared to not have much. He was sharing with them what he was doing in the field and as he came upon the need for support he got tripped up with his thinking. He realized though that people understand that Missionaries need support. 

I know you all aren't ladies but I'm sure you gentleman out there understand what I'm about to say too.  

As must of you know I quit my job this summer and didn't go back because this opportunity with Praying Pelican Missions is something we've been praying about since October 2012. 

Well it came about. I'm getting to help further the kingdom of God for a JOB. 

How cool is that!!!

I think it's super cool. I do need your help though. 

Just because I have a super cool job doing God's work doesn't mean Adam and I's bills magically disappear. 

Wouldn't that be cool if it did though?

So we would love your help!

You can go here http://www.prayingpelicanmissions.org/donate find my name and choose a one time donation or monthly!

My goal is to raise a $1000 a month! I know with prayer and diligence that I can achieve this..

Thank you all for taking sometime to read this! 

It was REALLY hard to write. 

I hope everyone's Monday was fantastic!!
