Calling

Had an interesting time yesterday. Attended services in Alvin at Heights Baptist Church. Listened to testimonies of Randy and Debbie and identified some tings that I am dealing with. Then in the sermon, the speaker dealt with following God's plan. I recall saying a couple years ago how things were different when we "lived by faith." We didn't have as much and we had to trust God to keep the bills paid. And we always had enough and even went on vacations every year. Somewhere along the way I started making more money and depended less on God because I didn't have to. Now I am back to faith being all I have.

The other thing I was forced to consider yesterday is a sense of calling. I have discovered that I really need a strong sense of calling to perform. It helps me stay focused and motivated as I do my work. Without it, I flounder and get lazy. I am less likely to get out and do something when I am not driven by my calling to do it. So what am I called to do? That's what I am working on now. Put it all together and I think I am coming out of this funk. Not sure where it goes but it feels like I'm going. I am trying to reconnect with my calling and use that to shape what I do next. I am still looking for a new job but not just to pay the bills.

I have preached that God knows what I need before I ask and that God has the provisions to satisfy my needs. Getting back to trusting God for that provision changes my attitude. Stay tuned for what happens next. I am getting one step at a time and that's OK. We'll see where this goes.
