We have the same greatest dr...I can totally relate! We have the same greatest dream. :) So... what am I doing with my "meantime" ?? Well, I am pursuing things that I am good at, things I enjoy. I am using and developing the skills that God has given me, and trying to be a good steward of the time He has given, which is really only today. For me that involves going back to school this fall to study the Word of God and Biblical languages. <br /><br />Real life is a process. I have learned--and I'm still learning!--the importance of focusing on what I do have and what I do know as opposed to what I don't have and what I don't know. Waiting for the "lightning" to strike won't get you very far. I think it's easier to at least start moving in a direction first. That way if lightning does strike, you'll already have some momentum on your side. :)<br /><br />I'll admit, sometimes going back to school feels a little insincere or half-hearted because it's not my first choice. But the way I feel about something shouldn't define how I respond to or interact with it. Because ultimately, wherever you are and whatever dream you're chasing, it will never really be fulfilling if God's not at the forefront. But I didn't have to tell you that. :)<br /><br />When I lack direction, I find it helpful to remember to "Seek first His kingdom, and His righteousness and all these things [things that we NEED] will be added to you." --Matthew 6:33 If you need direction, He will provide it when the time comes.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. As always, I appreciate your honesty. :)Kaikai2meriPNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425704956038331368noreply@blogger.com
