The Paradigm Shift of a Heart: C'MonPosted by Veronica Han in Untagged |
 |
I am unemployed.
Although that is the reality of my situation, I'm trying not to let it define my identity as a person, because how often are we identified and made worthy by the positions we hold?
It's been fairly easy to not let myself get caught up in the job search and the waiting period, but there have been moments of distress and discouragement, where I have been uncertain of whether what I am searching for is in the direction that God has intended for me. Thankfully, however, these times have been both rare and brief in their happenings.
A reminder of the hope I can wait for in the unseen of our future glory with Christ has allowed me to implement that same mentality in my everyday life. I was reminded yesterday that it took the Israelites 40 years to get to their destination, a length that far exceeded its normal travel time. But the people had no choice but to walk in faith as they moved and followed wherever the pillar of cloud/fire directed them.
And that's the challenge I have for myself: to be ready to move and TO move in the direction that is most pleasing and glorifying to God in His perfect plan.
I say these words with little effort, and I KNOW that this cannot be made possible without the Holy Spirit living and breathing within me. And that reality alone gives me the fighting drive to carry on each day... unemployed.
