I have to say that I am proud of myself. I have used to have a bad habit of always doing little things on the side for different people and such. Some of them were for money and some for charity.
Since I started school I really haven’t look for these types of opportunities and they have not been finding me either. I did get an email over the weekend though from a ministry that I did work for in the past. Several months ago before I even considered going to school I had told them that I would do some work for them and had the time to do it when I had agreed to it.
Well that free time is all used up now and so I was kind of torn on whether to help them or not. I weighed the decision in my heart for a couple of days but when today came I knew I could not do. The main reason for not doing it was not money, it was time. Time with my family.
I am at work for 40+ hours a week plus I am gone 2 nights a week because of school. Any more time away from my family would not fair to them.
What about the ministry you may ask?
They will get it done. There are plenty of companies and individuals out there that can and will do it for them. They will probably do a much better job they I also as I would have been in a rush to do it and would not of had time to do it right. It is really a win-win situation if you look at it right.
