Today, I read an awesome blog by a lady who has been blessed to find her "thing". She has been able to find her gift, her God-given talent that she can utilize and use to honor God and pour her creativity and heart into.
I don't have a thing.
Seriously, I don't.
There are many things I like to do; sing, read, cook, write. But none of them are what I would consider to be "IT". The gift, the talent, or skill that God has given me to use for His glory.
I was thinking in the car this morning that maybe that is why I have yet to find that one career that makes my heart sing. Blerg. I know what I want to do, but I simply don't have enough education to make that happen. Nor do I have the financial resources to get that education. So, I have settled. I have settled for jobs that are kinda what I want to do, but not really. Jobs that are close to the goal, but aren't the goal itself.
When I went to school, I went to school to be a counselor. I wanted to be a therapist and help people. I truly feel that is my calling. Since I have graduated however, I have become trapped in the tyranny of the urgent. Rene' was unemployed so I had to take jobs for money rather than passion. I would love to go back to school, but I just can't see that happening.
Unlike my other posts, I don't really have a big lesson that I have learned. I guess I am thinking that I need God's direction. So, will you pray for me that God will reveal Himself to me and that I would be responsive to His leading?
