| In the midst of figuring out my calling, an excerpt from a devotional that I'm currently using gave me another insight into what my calling is supposed to look like.
Excerpt from "A Vision of Faith"
I think there is nothing that the study of this book of Job does
for us more than to understand that life is basically a mystery.
We are surrounded by mystery. We cannot comprehend it all; it
is painted on too large a canvas. It is too great and involved
for us to grasp it all. The ways of God are beyond us many times,
and yet Job is gradually learning in the midst of his pain to
trust the God who is there, to trust that He will come up with
answers and that He is working out a purpose in line with His
love. That is what life gradually teaches us. Elisabeth Elliot described briefly her first widowhood. Her husband
was slain along with four companions in the jungles of Ecuador
by members of the Auca tribe. She spent thirteen years as a widow,
and then she married a gracious and wonderful man with whom she
was very happy for just a few more years. Then he died, taken
by cancer. She said, "I have spent six-sevenths of my life single,
though I have been married twice. I did not choose the gift of
widowhood, but I accepted it as the sphere in which I am to live
to the glory of God."
I really need to trust that He is working out a purpose that is so much greater than ME.
I want to have the heart of Job when he said:
I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand
upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed yet in my
flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes--I,
and not another (Job 19:25-27a).
Awesome prayer that the devotional offers:
Help
me to accept what You have in store for me as the sphere in which
I am to live to the glory of God!!!

| My heart feels very stuffy  What's going on here? 
I need to be undone.
Rush Of Fools - Undo Lyrics
I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be
[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become
I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be
[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become
Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You
[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become | | |
