So Sunday there was an awesome message at church talking about things we idolize in this world, a few of them were, feelings, success, money, sports, self. Success and money was the one I need to work on.
Today I got to work and just felt ugh. Same old Same old. Usually this work routine doesn't bother me but today I felt like where was the challenge? I guess it is coming down to being bored there. Could I go into another area at work? Sure, but really its not appealing to me either.
I really want to be able to work with kids, in some way. Some way I want to be able to help others. I love writing articles on the side, it just sucks not getting paid for them, but I think if I was to actually get paid to talk to people and write what happened I would love it.
There were a couple reporter positions that were open and I kept saying no because of the pay. After the service on Sunday I realized I do measure my success on money. I am sure many people do, but why? What is the thing I enjoy most and the memories that mean the most to me, they surely arent the ones at work.
I guess what I am trying to sort out in my head is, I need to stop measuring myself to the stats of the world. I need to measure myself on how I am giving to others, how I making a difference in their life, and how I am living Godly.
Dont get me wrong, I am so thankful for my job right now , def pays the bills, and my loans and then some! But I must remember to not let it get me down, to know this is not what I am going to be stuck doing forever.
I need to keep hope up that God has not forgotten my deepest desires in life, and I need to allow my eyes, ears, and heart to be open to which path he wants me to take.
What is the path you want to take? What is the path that God wants you to take? Are you listening?
