Pastor Jim Bradford,
I been struggling all week with a decision to take a job that I was offered on Monday of this week. I’ve just finished listening to your sermon, “Worth the Pain” as was linked to Amy Maxwell’s webpage, Gentle Whisper http://www.gentlewhisper.com/blog/
It’s a job as a counselor/assistant at a Christian Pregnancy center in Tulsa, OK. http://www.mendpregnancy.org/index.html
Moving to this job will cost me a great deal… and yet while I long to do it, I hesitate at the same time.
Your sermon laid my hesitation to rest and I’m ready to accept the job tomorrow. Your faithfulness to the Lord is part of that which leads me and I thank you for that. May the unborn, yet unformed, be grateful to you also, for the influence you’ve extended from Christ to me, and then to them.
Thank you for your timely message that settled this matter for me. May the Lord be honored in my choice and may you be blessed for your willingness to serve Him and share with me.
Blessings, Judy Gifford, Broken Arrow, OK
