| Right or ? |
|
| |
16:25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. I cannot believe how much of my life has been spent believing that I had a right to anything; a right to be right, a right to have my own way, a right to be offended when someone hurt me, a right, a right, a right????? It took me a long time to understand that insisting on my way, only led to unrest in my life. It not only brought pain to others at times, but pain to my own soul every time the ugly head of pride rose up. Everytime we do it our way instead of God's way; evertime we choose to exclude God from our plans brings death. I am learning the best and most peaceful way is His way, the humble way, the trusting way, the give it all over to Him way. I am so glad He is so patient as He attends to the task of perfecting me more into His image.

I couldn't agree more. For example, The job that I really wanted was not the one God intended me to have. I now have a job at Arbors at Fairmont and it turns out that there are actually a few benefits that I was not expecting. Such as free family insurance. 2 weeks paid vaction after a yr, also very good pay. The reason I declined the position at first is because it is midnight. But there is a very good chance that I can get a day shift position after 6 weeks. Hopefully a treatment nurse which is something I have always wanted to be. So I believe that I am finally where I am supposed to be. |

The right I struggle with the most is I feel like I have a right to choose my future, my occupation, how my marriage goes. I know that really I don't. God had it all laid out for me while he was carefully molding my tiny little fingers in my mother's womb. He already knows what career I should be in as an adult, my college career, even how my marriage falls into place. I have to give up my own intentions for myself and my life and go with what he gives me. Oh, and believe me my intentions for my life have been expansive, from my first chosen occupation at the age of three when all I wanted to be was a christmas tree and marry a ballerina, to my ten year old self who wanted to be a pharmaceutical doctor specializing in psychological drugs and never be married, to now wanting to be a child development specialist and marrying Seth. While I am 100% sure that Seth is what God intended for my married life, I am still not 100% sure what occupation he intends me for. I know he gave me a gift of relating to children. So, I'm going with that until he gives me another sign, or points to an opportunity. I guess thats just how it works. We move in the flows he lays in front of us and try not to assume we know whats going to happen.
Love,
