---what is/was your line of work?  And if you don't think this belongs in the Fighting Forum, you'll be fighting back tears by April 15th.

Hm. I generally keep my personal information quiet on internets.

I have been in several professions in my life, but none of them are where I place my trust. I attempt to trust in God alone for the provision of my family and I do all I can to fight against finding my identity in my job.  I want to find it in Christ.

I sit in front of a computer probably half of my day reading reports and reformatting things and communicating with people.  It is a fairly secure profession, but as I said, I realize it is fragile.  But God is not fragile.
 
I have an unpleasant entry level part-time job that I'd rather not talk about. It sucks but it pays the rent.

And sometimes I fix computers for people, or even custom-build one (gaming PCs are my specialty), but that's not steady enough to make much of a living.

Sometimes I help out with teaching in my dojo, but I'm not on staff and don't get paid.

I'm working on getting back into school and finishing my BA. Northwest University, regionally accredited AoG college, great adult degree completion program, plenty of financial aid. Ministry Leadership is my intended major, and I hope to do something in some form of ministry with it. If I can swing it, I'd like to go on and earn an M.Div. too. But I don't know what God wants me to do yet. My church does accept women as senior pastors, but I may be too much of an introvert (though a very self-confident one) for that. I think I would very much enjoy teaching theology. Failing that, a staff position in some ministry, maybe a charity-focused one like World Vision, would be good.
 
Izdaari, from your posts I get the impression that you would be a great student.  I hope your desire to return to college comes to fruition.
