If I Were Man
I had this thought the other day. If I were a MAN, it would be so much easier to do ministry. It really would. I say this because then I wouldn't have to argue with other people about what women should do in ministry. I wouldn't have to worry about getting married (as much). I think more women would like to be a pastor's wife than there are men who want to be a pastor's husband. Also, it wouldn't be ASSUMED that because I'm working at a church as a woman that I'm the Secretary or in children's ministry! I feel like I have to push harder and fight more! And its discouraging! Sometimes I just want to say, "Fine! I give up, just sign me up for some 8-5 cubicle job!" Ministry is a sometimes thankless job, which doesn't pay well, which is sometimes lonely, and where i feel like i have to fight for respect! And yet, and YET, I like it - no I love it. But I'm afraid and I'm discouraged. I'm afraid to mess it all up - and I'm discouraged because it seems like such a hard path - with so many hurdles to overcome.

Trust me Kels you don't want the cubicle job. Trust me!!!!
You must not forget, your job is one of service, service to those around you and service to our God. Much of the time there is no thanks, there is no praise, and there is little encouragement. But remain faithful in the fact that you are doing what the Lord requires of us. Love the unlovable and show compassion to those who lack understanding. God is working and using you to do it.
Be blessed this day, understanding God's purpose for you.
