A new opportunity

So yesterday, an old friend of mine called me and told me about a job opportunity. He said that there's a new priest at his church and they're looking for a choir director. It would be a paid position. O_O

I'm really praying hard about this because there are so many factors I need to take into consideration. Mass would be at 5 every Saturday and I would get paid for the hours that I spend rehearsing, choosing songs, directing mass, etc.

It feels like God wants me to take it, even though I still have sort of a commitment to Interfaith. We all have to move on someday and I feel like because some of us have stayed for so long, we need a "Love" offering more than others. We, as in those people, or actually just one person. People who have devoted so much time and energy towards music ministry deserve some kind of reward. Especially during this time when everyone seems to be in a financial rut.

Anyway, I'm thinking about the possibility of going away to school next Fall, and I feel like God wants me to take this job so that I can come home every weekend to visit my family too. It makes a lot of sense to me.

The problem is, can I commit? Will I burn out from working another job (hopefully), volunteering, and choir directing? There's probably a higher expectation for me because I'm getting paid to do the job.

You know what they say...be careful what you ask for...because you might just have it all. =\ I wanted to be busy, and now I feel like the business is coming.

I'm going to continue praying about this. I have to give my answer by the end of the week. Yikes!!!
