A year and half later, I find that I am no where near figuring out where He is leading me in my career. What I've found instead was that God was more interested drawing me toward a more intimate knowledge of His heart than in giving me the clear directions I thought He would give me.
This would ultimately be how He would transform me. Because once you see the contents of His heart, He will inevitably begin to expand yours.
You see, I thought I had narrowed it down when God showed me His heart for "orphans" through His Word and asked me if I wanted in.
I said yes, and then He spent the rest of the year and half defining it.
I learned that I had signed up for something far beyond what I had originally thought.
This is what I've learned.
God's love is so deep and expansive that our human minds and hearts cannot contain it.
I asked God to influence my work. He said yes. You will know me.
Not exactly what I thought I had signed up for.
...but far better.
How bad do you want to know Him? Because He will show you and it will blow your mind.
Philippians 3:7-117 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
