I'm a little torn. I posted a few weeks ago that I was excited about a job ad for an assistant chef at a gourmet store. I sent an email to the company asking what kind of experience they're looking for, and basically, they want someone with some experience, but will do a 3 hour kitchen trial to test the candidate. The email specifically said it's day time hours, 40+ hours per week.

Now, I'd love this job, because it would be good cooking field experience and daytime hours, which is nearly unheard of. But I wanted to get a job that was 3-4 days/week so I could pioneer. So I could try out for the job and possibly work full time now, while we save up to buy a house, then maybe take the experience and networking and start my own catering company in a few years.

Man, satan makes this world so tempting, but I really don't want to put off pioneering for any longer.

i agree with ian and tina. hold out for something with less hours. don't make a specific schedule and limit yourself to positions with that schedule. be open to things outside of your interest/skill area. it's like the YPA video said-you might end up with a job that you never expected. if it means you get to pioneer, how could it not be worth it?

You are one of the most articulate people I have ever known, and had the privilege of pioneering with. You present the truth in such a beautiful way. Delay no longer. Pioneer. Jehovah will bring all else together. You'll be in my prayers.

Aww, Todd! That brought a tear to my eye - you're so sweet! I am going to keep looking for a part time job and pioneer. Thank you! :)

I agree with the rest of the group... Pioneering will open up several opportunites and you never know what Jehovah will provide for you while you continue to put his work first in your life....
