Direction and Passion

[mwhope]

I've noticed a good many of my peers have some goal or aspiration to be working in a particular profession or in a specific capacity or even with a certain company. I don't have any such direction

For quite awhile I my goals were very specific. I knew exactly what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. I gave that up because I began to focus too closely on it. How am I supposed to know what I will really like to be doing years from now? I found that my goals consumed me and my passion carried me away. I was focused on my future instead of on God. At the moment I have no idea what I really want to do, my reason for pressing on and working hard is so that I can glorify God. I have confidence that He is preparing me to go somewhere, and even though I don't know where that is, I am also confident that He will make me damn good at it when I get there. Focusing too much on the future can make you miss stark reality of the present.

I agree completely with your sentiments. Very nicely said; my feelings are the same.
