Im a vol. ff in a little town. im also a work at my chruch helping youth ministry but some time being a ff conflicks with the youth ministry. I feel god has called to to be in fire/ems but am i putting 1 calling above another when i do stuff for the fire department durring the time of the youth ministry?
I would like to believe that the lord guides me to take care of business in a matter of importance. I.e. a fire, car wreck, or medical call are all instances where lives are more than likely on the line and need your assistance, that the lord blessed you with, where as the youth of your church will be there after the call is over or possibly at a
rescheduled time. I work the audio/video in my church and my wife works in the nursery and helps with sunday school, but everyone in our church know that i am a FF and if i'm not there i'm probably on a call.
this is only my feelins, I hope it helps.
thank you for your support i have been strughling w/ this for a while but w/ the support i got for the cfa i know what god has called me to do! i explained to my kids (aka my youth group) that if i dot show up for some thing that chances are im out on a fire call ( where people lives might be on the line) and they thought the fact that im a firefighter was awsome an are total in support of me!
yakkee
ps i just wish some of the older people in the chruch unstand as much as the kids
