But I tend to forget that actually this would take all the fun out of life! If that happened then I'd lose the excitement of discovering something new, the feeling of accomplishment when I achieved something.
Also God doesn't want me to be a mindless, controlled drone...he wants me to seek him and his plan, but to have the freedom to choose and explore.
Which means that I have the amazing ability to think about what I want out of life, to research different possibilities and ultimately try out as many of them as I want. It's important that I keep my eyes on him and keep my heart with him, but that just means that I'm not alone as I try new things.
Secondly God made me exactly how he wanted me to be. He didn't make a mistake or wish that I was different. He made me with the gifts that I have because he knew that I could add something to the world.
He made me to be decisive, he doesn't see that as bossy.
He made me to be organised, he doesn't think I'm obsessive.
He made me to be loving, he doesn't see that as over-emotional.
And if I'm not feeling fulfilled in a job, it doesn't mean that the job or the workplace isn't a good place to be, it's that my skills and gifts don't fit the job I'm in...a round peg in a square hole...actually that's not quite right, it's more like a round peg in a pentagon hole- it fits a bit, but not perfectly. But I deserve to find my perfect fit...I was made by the ultimate creator to be exactly who I am, and he wants me to be the best I can be and help as many people as possible.
All of this is basically me saying that my work life is changing...I've realised that as much as I love where I work, it's come to a time of change...time for me to explore :)
No decisions yet, I will let you know when I've worked it out! But for now, I'm just pleased that I've recognised these truths of God...that he has a plan but wants me to have freedom, and that as far as he's concerned I am perfectly made.
