Finding Your Place in Life

There are times in our lives that we wonder if we are doing what we are "supposed" to be doing. We make decisions in our teen years about what we want to occupy our working time for the next possible 40-45 years. So often, the path we originally chose was adequate for the time being, but once you head down that path, you find out what that life is truly like.

I began with the idea of earning a salary from paid ministry to answer the call of God on my life to serve Him. As I look back, each place in my life has served a purpose in bringing me to where I am today, and I am grateful for that. However, what I am doing now doesn't appear to be on track with what I started out to pursue. God has rearranged my thinking about paid ministry over the last couple of years. The last year and a half have proved to be a time of searching, searching for my place in the working world.

I am now at a place where I feel very confident in what I am doing is making a difference in the world. Not only am I still serving in a coaching/training position with The Journey so as to help people spiritually, I am also working in a field of financial services to help people in another big area of their lives, monetarily. I, personally, find the greatest satisfaction in doing something that makes a difference in the lives of people in big ways. My experiences in selling furniture and cars, helped people, but not in significant ways.

It takes time and patience to find your place in life. When you do find it, you will find joy and excitement. May you find your place in life to be fulfilling.
