I got hired at a store where I received part time hours, that is about 30 hours per week. Retail is relatively low income. Because I think I want to start a family in the future, I am wondering if God wants me to work more hours? I kind have gotten used to my shorter shifts where I get off early in the afternoon and get to relax more.
However if full time hours are available should I take more? Part of the reason to consider is not only my future, but the store is short staffed where there is not enough people to get all the work done and my supervisor works full time and takes more of the load than I do. However I am thinking the responsibility here is that they should hire enough people to do the job.
The value that I place on working part time has to do with spiritual information I have received that values resting in Jesus more. The devotional book Jesus Calling by missionary Sarah Young teaches the value of spending more time with Jesus and avoiding the activity addition of this age. This book challenges us that the continual nonstop demands of a busy schedule can be put on hold and rest in Jesus can be found. The book shares that Christians have bought into the misconception that more activity and more programs are beneficial when Jesus wants us to be less active.
Because I am highly involved in ministering / visiting my special needs family member, more of my free time is taken up.
