I've just found your site. Very fine and encouraging to see you're going through the same things as me. I've just stopped a teens meeting because I couldn't bear the procastination of the others adults. I was so tired and so frusted to see them so neglecting. The Lord showed I had to stop for a while. I feel in peace. I wear many hats too and sometimes it's hard to see the things clear. God bless you, sorry for my faults in english. Hello,

Our resources are limited. Time, energy and money are not endless. We can waste so much of what God has given us, for His purposes, on our well-intended plans. It's a constant prayer for discernment.

I honestly went into a state of shock. I work as an educational administrator in an environment where several of the staff have no personal relationship with Jesus and two of the teachers do not believe in the Bible, Jesus or God. My biggest concern was that these people are working with children. Therefore, my husband and I pray each morning prior to me leaving the house. We have even gone to the school and prayed on the weekends. It has been very difficult to evaluate these people based on their peformance and not their beliefs. I have in no way been ashamed of the gospel and have managed to let my light shine in the midst of demonic spirits. However, you are correct in saying that we are so comfortable in our church environments. We need training for returning to the secular to serve. For it is definitely ministry in action!

Janice, Thank you for your candid comments on your latest post. I am a Pastor's wife and my husband has been pastoring for the past 18 years and I am experiencing burn-out in the worst way! I had a wonderful Women's Ministry going and we were experiencing growth and blessings in every way, but, my burn-out continued w/similiar circumstances like yours, and I finally put it on hold. I miss them tremendously, as do the other ladies, but I have no desire to start it back up and continue w/me doing 75% of the preparation and the msg as well. With the church being in a slumbering mode, I wear so many hats at times, it is not funny and I just need an outlet to share my experiences in a safe place w/someone who can relate and give me encouragement along the way...
