Well, yesterday was rotten to the core, but today is a new story. My work situation is still a disaster, but I sense God telling me that it's time to take a risk-- time to ditch my job and go find my calling.I've started re-reading Dan Miller's book 48 Days to the Work You Love and I read something today that I had missed the first time. Isaiah 65:21 is talking about heaven and says: "In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards." Apparently, there will be work in heaven; we'll be building houses and growing vineyards. Who knew? If work is important enough that we'll have it in heaven, God definitely doesn't want me wasting my life on earth going to a job that makes me want to poke my eyeballs out. When you wish for Jesus to come back on Sunday so you don't have to go to work on Monday, you know it's bad.
I really feel like it's time to step out of the boat and trust God. He knows the desires of my heart and he wants me to live an abundant life. I just have to totally give up control and jump out in faith-- always the hardest part for me. The past 24 hours has been a revelation to me; the only thing that is keeping me in this situation is me. Now is the time to be bold-- to hold His hand and jump.
If I can make a recommendation....
ReplyDeleteFast. Those are the times that God can really be revealed to you. Maybe do it for a day. So during the time you would normally eat lunch, spend it in prayer. God is begging you to spend time with him.
If you ever need any help with getting a resume out to some folks, let me know. I have some friends that could help get it out to different places.
That's something to think about. I've never fasted before.
