I am feeling pulled to give up my job!!! Scared!!!

[Roughsoul1991]

I have been feeling called into ministry but because of my wife and kids I have sacrificed my calling to uphold the promise and covenant I made in marriage to support my wife. But ever since I started to meet with my preacher one on one once a week. My calling only grew louder. Lately my life with the direction I am going in the Job I have now is only producing pain and it seems everything is against the direction I am trying to maintain. All I want to do is do the will of God. I have prayed for guidance and understanding. And maybe I have got it so clearly but I am scared to make that move. Because of the back problems and trying to remain at my blue collar job has really tested my family. We are to the point where we cant miss a paycheck and if we do then it's a choice to pay the house, car and insurance and shut off everything else. I am young and need advice. My faith may be weak in these hard times but I still believe God will prevail. I want to answer my calling but also I want my wife and Kids to have at least the necessities. My calling would insist on me going back to college in which they do not help me financially because I make too much. Here soon though I may have no choice but to quit my job if nothing helps my back. I need encouragement.

Start looking for others jobs that you CAN do (now, but without quitting y your current job quite yet). If like in Norway, it will take forever to get a positive response.
Even if you do get an offer, you CAN turn it down if it doesn't suit you you know.
That way, you have some security when/ if you leave your job.

Trust me: Being unemployed s.... I guess I can't write that, but you know what I mean

Kilden- I am doing all I can to hang on to this Job and maybe my Dr's recommendation can help me find a job accommodation at work. Since my job is a big maintenance plant they possibly can find me a position that helps me work with my back issues. But if this does not come through then I will be fired. So I am trying to tough it out while they go through this process.

Holly- Thank you I need all the prayers I can get. I want to honor God and have a hard time figuring out if I should use the YOLO term in a Christian format and give all to Christ. I only have one life and probably already 1/3 of the way to the grave estimating I live to be at least 65. I want to live for God in all aspects of my life. I want to spread the Word of God, I get excited and love to tell others the reason I am saved.

The Bible says all your days were written down before you seen one of them. its intimidating for sure bc we are limited and cant see around the corner.. I pray He steady you in every way

Thank you I appreciate your kind words. God is amazingly unlimited and I will not believe God will leave his believers in there doubts.
