Hi everyone, I'm Miss Jean. Are you ready for another mini-adventure in Discovery Mountain?

Well, have you ever had a day where you felt discouraged? Well, today, Pastor Peabody is having one of those days.

And I wonder what it could be. Let's find out on today's mini-adventure called an uncertain

mountain.

Oh, boy. What's wrong, honey?

Well, I'm worried about the finances with the church. Honestly, we've had a rough year,

and I'm not sure where the money

is going to come from for my salary. What do you mean? I thought that we were doing well this year.

What happened? Well, McGee only paid the salary for a pastor for the first year. Since then,

that money has run out, and we've honestly had a hard time paying both the church bills and me.

Where did the money go?

Well, for starters, we've had to replace the boiler system, which was a hefty cost being over 30 years old,

as well as some older media equipment, not to mention the roof that was damaged during the hailstorm.

Plus, there are all the changes that have happened in town over the

past year. Hmm. Well, that's true. Have you talked with the church board? We should still have

some time before the end of the year. I've done that too. And while I don't mind staying on to serve,

I'm not sure what we'll do to stay living here. Why don't you go take a drive and find somewhere to pray about it?

That seems to always help me when I'm in a tough situation.

I mean, I guess I can, but not sure where the miracle is going to come from in all this.

We have nine weeks until the end of the year to come up with the money,

or the church will have to close again for not having a pastor. Then we'll have to find something for work somewhere. Don't lose faith. You know the

Lord will provide. He always does. It just may not be in the way we expect. I'm just, well, I feel like I failed
