Have any of you ever come to conclusion about something in your life that you wish you could have figured out a long time ago? I do it all the time. For example, I have been a hair dresser since 1991. During my career, I have tried on a lot of hats so to speak. I started out as an assistant. I then received my own chair and started to build a clientele. I moved into management positions, and even into ownership. I taught within my field, and finally, after twenty years, discovered why renting space in someone else's salon is the perfect fit for me. I don't like being told what to do, (what to wear, when to show up, when to eat etc.) nor do I want to tell others what to do. I want to go to work, service my clients, and leave to go home. I want weekends with my family and friends. It pains me to think that all the moving from salon to salon trying to find the perfect fit could have been a one stop shop. I finally figured it out.
However, I have been a christian since 1980, and I still try to figure out what God wants me to do. Its in His word. I don't have to hop from church to church to find it. I don't have to let people who are just like me, imperfect, determine where my walk takes me. Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit... That's it. There's my job. I know He tweaks us and guides us all in different directions to reach different nations, and even parts of nations. He can even direct us toward one gender over another. The great thing is, I didn't have to do much work to find my job description. He handed it to me already written down.
Thank you Jesus. I love you too.
