B1 and B2

Here's my two bobs' worth for someone starting a ministry apprenticeship:

1. Sleep in once a week. Even if you don't actually do this, knowing that it would be okay will give you permission to sleep in when you need to.


2. Consider the apprenticeship as you having given yourself over to ministry. You are no longer your own. You've been given enough money to free you up from having to do a regular job, in order that you might dedicate your life to serving the church. This has at least two implications: 1) you should devote yourself to the people of your church and community, and 2) there is no set way to order your life. You are not being paid by the hour. It doesn't matter how many hours you work or when you do the housework or see your friends. You just need to determine what works for you, knowing that the only measure of your faithfulness is to be unashamed before God.
