Thought-full Thursday

DO WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU DO.


It's the age old question that seems to continually plague almost everyone.. "What the heck am I doing with my life?'
It's hard not to ask that question, given the comparison generation we live in today.
I know for me, more often than not, I find myself asking this question quite regularly. It seems as if I don't have much to show for the amount of years I've been on this earth. I look around at the other people my age, all the accomplishments they have, and the direction they are headed in.. It's really easy to get discouraged.
As a Christian, God constantly has to remind me that His timeline isn't the world's timeline. I need to stop comparing my life to the lives of those around me, and start comparing my life to the life that God has written in His book for me.
About a week ago, I was having yet another pity party, and God really convicted me. I was feeling really unsatisfied with my life and was asking Him why. He showed me, through a series of events, that there's passions and gifts that He has put in me that I'm neglecting.
When choosing a job or career, most of us, look at the income factor. It's less about passion and more about money. We think that if we get a job that pays well, we can make ourselves enjoy it.
What if God wanted us to do what we love to do? What if we feel unsatisfied with life because we do what we think we 'have' to do, instead of what we have a passion for?
For those who know me, I LOVE to shop.. and I mean LOVE. I really enjoy it.. all aspect of it. Even if it's for someone else.
I really felt that God was pressing on my heart saying "pursue it".
I tend to enjoy my comfort zone. I stick to what I know and what I am good at. It leaves little room for failure.
So when I know that God is telling me to pursue a brand new avenue, my doubts begin to surface. What if no one hires me? What if it's a bust? What if people don't think I'm qualified? Oh, the what if's..
Where's my faith? If God calls you to do something, He is ALWAYS faithful. ALWAYS.

So as of last night, full of faith, I officially started a business.

I ordered business cards that will be arriving next week.

I want to challenge each of you to search your heart. What are you good at? What gifts do you have that you may think aren't all that important? Those very talents and gifts could be the keys to unlocking the door that leads you into the life that God has intended for you. The life of fulfillment that you've been desiring.

Be brave. Be bold. Have faith.
God is beyond faithful. Always.



Love, Meg
