are you passionate for God?
I know I would like to think that I am a passionate person when it comes to God. However, what I think and what I know are two completely different things. I would like to think I am but if I look at my life.... I know I am not. Lately, I have had a passion to do what God wants me to do. What's funny? I have been in school for six years to become a teacher. Just this past Sunday, I realized how much I secretly hate teaching. Isn't that crazy? That is so much money wasted on something that I hate doing. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love children and I would LOVE to teach them..... about God. However, in a public setting, that is not ever going to happen the way that I know I need to teach people. But also, lately, there have been a ton of people who have come to me for advice and I love to answer those questions the best that I can. I love to serve people in that way. So, am I living my life with the passion for God? I would have to say no. I was not listening to anything that He wanted me to do. I was going off of what other people told me that I would be good at and doing for the rest of my life. The earliest memory I have is in my first grade classroom, my teacher told me that I would be a good teacher. Ever since then, I thought that's what I was supposed to be. In a way, I do believe this but overall I believe I am supposed to be teaching in other ways, not in the classroom. It sucks doesn't it? I wasted all of this money to realize this is not what I am supposed to be doing. So, I did decide that I am going to finish out my education in this field and then once I get a job, I plan on going back for social work. This way, I can help those who are less fortunate than I am because, honestly, that is where my heart truly is; with those less fortunate than me. I love those people will all my heart. So, now you could say from discovering over these last six years, I have not been living a passion for God, but for people who told me what to do with my life. Now, I can honestly, say I know what I am supposed to do. Now, I just have to do it.
