No, I haven't "lost it" amid the transition and stress that a new job search can create.
Last week we began a home bible study, based on a book our pastor, Daniel Henderson wrote entitled, the 7 Most Important Questions You'll Ever Answer.
The 7 Questions are:
1. Who is GOD?
2. Who Am I?
3. Why Am I Here?
4. What Really Matters?
5. What Shall I Do?
6. How Shall I Do It?
7. When Shall I Do It?
I do look forward to this study. I believe it comes at a very appropriate time for me personally, and also for our church as a whole.
In the past 5 years I've become somewhat of an expert in the field of job searching (not that I have sought out this added expertise). There are times that the devil tries to bring discouragement and dispair. I delight in the fact that we have a God who; desires us to know Him, a God who does have a plan for us to walk in, and who does give purpose and direction for our lives now as well as for eternity.
One of the goals our pastor is looking for, is that we each individually write a "Mission Statement" and "Purpose Statement", and to set goals that help us live our life with more direction and purpose.
These are areas that will be good for me. I sense that I tend to be more "go with the flow" in my nature, and a more directed and purposeful approach to daily living & "abiding" in Him, will do me well.
I will keep you informed of the journey, Dear and Gentle readers.
