Please pray for this situation.
I left computing (programming + administration) five years ago, after stress and close to a nervous breakdown. (I was left to develop and support, on my own, a complete system. After 3 years, I'd had enough).
During that time I received a prophecy that I was like a stick of seaside rock and that right through it was the word "Teach".
I ended up taking a teaching qualification (ESOL) and have had 5 blessed years, including ministry abroad. I've had many opportunities for witness and set up an English club at church. Now through rationalisation, I don't have enough hours to pay the bills at the beginning of this semester. Last week a consultant offered me an interview with a company to go back into programming. I went for interview with a heavy heart. It is a 5 year well-paid intense project, there have been no other applicants and they want me to come for second interview.
I am bewildered and rather depressed. I don't want to leave teaching and won't be able to take any more courses or teach part-time.
I really want this job on a part-time basis. When I asked for this, they've said no.
I have to choose between work I love, that has no security, and stress.
Can God change their mind? Will you pray?
