One LDS Girl From Provo

The Life of One LDS Girl From Provo - a sojourn through life, love, career, school, and the gospel

Searching June 24, 2008

I have 2 job interviews this week. One Thursday and one on Friday. I’m nervous because they seem to be popping up so fast… I think Heavenly Father knows it’s time for me to start looking again. I’ve been looking for a month and haven’t heard anything back. But now, after what happened last week with my boss, I get 2 job interviews right in a row. I’ve sent out hundreds of resumes. I know Heavenly Father is very aware of what’s going on with me and my life. It’s comforting to know that he’s helping. I’ve done as much as I can and now it’s up to him to fill up the rest.

This morning at the MTC I put in my 2 weeks notice. My hospital bill was knocked down from $3000 to only $50. I paid it off the moment I got the letter. I have payments with Radiology every month to pay a bill of $321. The Anesthesiologists are taking the cut the hospital gave me and figuring out how much of a cut I can get from them as well. Before my surgery I remember the blessing clearly and how many times were repeated “Don’t worry about how this will be paid. It will be paid.” :) It is going to be paid! And I’m going to be able to do it without killing myself! I’m so thankful for everything the Lord has helped me with. I’m amazed at how many blessings come from tithing. I’d been so SCARED to pay my tithing because of the continuing bills… But 2 weeks ago now I took a huge leap of faith and gave even though I had very little to give. Then now it seems as though the windows of Heaven really have opened up and are pouring out blessings and I almost have not room enough to receive it.

Bring ye all the atithes into the storehouse, that there may be bmeat in mine house, and cprove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not dopen you the ewindows of heaven, and pour you out a fblessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

3 Ne. 24: 10

    How are the pastors now being paid?

    From love offerings or the tithe?

    People who accept any portion of the tithe are not allowed to own any tangible property, such as a home, real estate.. according to the Bible too

    Well if you’re asking how the pastors and bishops in the LDS religion are paid, they aren’t. Every position in the church is volunteered. No one is compensated for their time. Their living is paid by their own jobs. A bishop could be lawyer, garbage man, teacher, etc… His income is used to support himself.
    Tithes in the LDS church are used to pay for church buildings (building, paying electrical and heating bills, etc), temples (building, bills, etc), printing scriptures, and things of that nature.
