Struggleing with a Hobby and the Lord!

Hello Hobby Section,

This is my first time posting I have lurked for a long time.

I play Warhammer 40k and Warmachine these are table top games that include painting and interacting with other people. Normally I play with some close friends from college and a couple from my church.

We recently tried to start a new project on Kickstarter (Its a crowd sourcing website) that will make it easier to teach others how to play these complicated games. It has been a really time consuming and stressful time and I have found that between working full time going to college and trying to run this project I have been lacking in my connection with god over the last month (mostly just time spent connecting with him). I am not sure if this is just do to the stress because it dosent look like the project will go through or if it is the Lord calling me away.

I hope its just stress I find it hard to believe that this could be the lord telling me to go a different path because these games are a great way to fellowship with people and they have opened doors to saving people that I feel wouldn't have been saved other wise. I also did a lot of praying about it and it seemed to point to going through with it.

I guess my whole point is I would like you all to take a look at what I am doing (and if you think it could be the lord telling me no) and maybe give me some advice on how I can find some more time to spend with god. Also if you have any idea on how I can stop stressing about all of this.

If your interested in looking at the project to see whats going on there is a link in my signiture.

Thank you all for you input and God Bless

Don't ever give up on a hobby. Not only can it help others, but it helps you stay balanced. Just go with your gut and your heart, think positive and positive results will follow. There are always tests in life, don't give up and you will become stronger. One idea to build traffic and provide good information about your game(s) is to start a blog. You can create a series of posts where you explain rules, intricacies and benefits of playing the game(s). Best of luck!

I guess the important thing is to ensure your hobby glorifies God in some way. For me, when I compose music, it comes straight from God. I want to start composing music inspired by some of the stories in the Bible. Hobbies are good to have but should not take up the majority of your free time.
