We are all on this journey called life. Ya truly never know where your life is going to end up. In my experience it seems one thing leads into another, knowing this person leads to that person. In my life that is how it has gone, and I've just been along for the ride.
I feel I am on the cusp of a new path. I've been stuck in my current situation for a while now. And to be honest, I have not been enjoying it for sometime now, for about a year and a half.
You see I love music, and in my current job as a Children's Minister I am not able to use it to it's full extent. I do get to use music, but not like I would want to. You see, music is my passion.
For a year and a half now I have been trudging through my existence, One routine after another. I guess I had just accepted that this is the way things were, so I tired my best to just suck it up and get over it. Don't get me wrong, it is not that I hate my job and life is a Simple Plan song, it's just I see that I am headed down a different path. I am switchin horses in the middle of the stream, as the old cowboy saying goes.
There is a saying that says, "If you find what you love to do, you'll never work a day in your life."
To which I would respond, BULL CRAP! A job is a job! If it was something you "loved" doing than it would be called something different, like a hobby or a leisure pursuit. Now don't get me wrong, I know the meaning of the saying, what it is speaking to is, finding something that you were made to do, something that fits you. Something you are good at and enjoy doing. But let's get this straight, you will have to work, oh yes you will! Even if it something you love to do, there is always a rectal exam in every job, as one doctor so eloquently put it. How true! There are always things in a job that you will hate doing
So here I am feeling like a whiney little kid "I DONT LIKE MY JOB! BOO HOO!" I just know that for some time now that I have not been very happy, I see it, my wife sees it, my friends see it and my pastor sees it.
Where is life headed? I sure don't know. But I am trusting God to work it all out for his good. I am following his direction, praying a whole lot!
I am just trying to pursue what I feel like I was made to do.
-The Adam
