I'm trying to figure that out...
Pray for me..
@TheGiantSlayer@xanga - i'm in the same boat my friend. i'm switching majors from engineering to... something in english. my parents don't approve, but God does.
I heard an awesome quote by Frederick Buechner when I was trying to figure it all out: "The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
Now I have 113 days until I finish nursing school
Software Engineer...
i like it
Graphic design and ... ahm... politics.
well, I can't say that I have a calling to any "industry" I feel more called into ministry- however God HAS provided me an opportunity to provide and pay my way into the ministry by teaching english for a job.
The awesome thing is that my Wife has a calling into teaching children- it is amazing how God put a desire into her heart from an early age to do some work that will be right along with the ministry that he called me into a long time ago! :D God works things together perfectly to do his will on earth!
good question. Something relating to economics...but I don't have a clue beyond that...Professor? Banker? Think Tank? Political Adviser? Analyst? I don't know.
In any case, I will have a chance to serve the kingdom by
a.) Feeding and clothing the widows and orphans en masse...or more likely given my interests, healing the widows and orphans...and everyone else. (healthcare economics)
b.) being salt and light to some of the most powerful men and women of society (politicians, boards, professors, etc.)
c.) doing both.
But I'm still in college, so I figure I have a while before "crunch time," and God will show me when the time is right.
i feel like my call in life is to help with poverty in the slums of the philippines. as in, i've dreamed it - day dreamed, dreamed about it at night. i imagine myself on the plane ride towards there. i imagine the streets i would stroll, the people i would meet. my heart thumps at the thought of helping these people.
:[ unfortunately i don't think my parents would let me drop everything and move there on my own. so here i am, about to go to college, and i still have the faintest clue to what i want to be when i grow up. i will be praying about it - i just wish i was a better listener. -__-.
Either meteorology or photography. Hopefully.
For as long as I can remember, I've known what God wants me to do. But now that I am an adult and have a young family I am terrified of the sacrifices and struggles pursuing that path will lead to. It is by far my biggest source of guilt and something I struggle with daily. I'm always thinking of excuses. When I talk to people about it, my excuses at least satisfy them. I know in my heart they aren't good enough for God, though. And I wish I had more faith that if I committed to that journey he would see me through.
trying to figure that out =/
Church ministry.
I told myself I would never "work" for my church, but apparently God had other plans for me. Now that I'm there I love it and just know it's where I'm supposed to be.
He is using my education background to lead me in to the ministry - actually it has taken me 13 years to really act on my call to the ministry.
@princess1505angel@xanga - Three cheers for nursing school! :)
I am in my first quarter of nursing school, and I want to be a midwife.
I am trying to discern between a call to ministry or a call to become a psychologist (or psychotherapist.. something a long those lines.) So my plan is to go to college for psychology and if I did end up wanting to go into ministry, that would provide as a good undergraduate study.
Still trying to figure that out.
lol God, help me trust in you to find out
I led myself into the twin wildernesses of engineering and public school education (what a mess!).
I think God is leading me anywhere but there!
well at first i studied finance then i applied to so many jobs in the end i can't get any jobs when i graduated in 2001. But when i applied to teaching, i managed to get the job almost immediately, yes i and ups and downs but yet i m still here for the last 7 yrs..i feel its god's guidance and with god's blessings. We will see how it goes tho.
Music. Check out my music on my site and let me know what you think: http://www.marq-paul.com
Would you buy a CD from me or should I stick to fixing computers?
Job? Not so sure anymore. Seems like God is "finally" allowing me to see some of my dreams come to fruition -- just not in my timing -- and the dreams don't jive well with my current job. Good time to reassess & pray & seek God's face. Being challenged to trust on new levels. This isn't where I thought I'd be in my early 40's -- but I sense a real peace that this really is where God thought I'd be. So it's a day at a time. Or a moment at a time, depending on how much my fear & control take over. It's definitely a journey -- and it's been quite a ride so far!
Social Work. I used to think I should go into psychology, but I never thought to ask God's opinion. However, now He's let me know where I'm called and I could not be happier with my choice.
@mZEROq@xanga - I checked out your site. I really like "Light" and would totally buy it. Keep growing this talent. It's amazing you were able to make so much good music while having a different job. Some of it was not my style but it was all original and I think others would enjoy what did not as deeply speak to me. *Thumbs up*
@harmonyminusmelody@xanga - if God approves then noting else matters
I don't know or I'm not sure, will find out I guess.
