| Things change when you graduate college. A LOT.
*Disclaimer*:
The word "dream" I use as a descriptive noun for a job that would be bang'n. AND this post isn't to toot my own horn....I believe it is to praise God for all that he will do for you...and I will use Cathy and I as examples.
It can take people years after graduating college to land their dream job...Like a life time of climbing the ladder and eventually hopefully before they are 40, that they are doing what they want to be doing as a career.
But by Grace and Divine Appointment, God doesn't bend to the limitations of time and circumstances to make things happen. They happen when He wants them to happen. And he has set things in motion long before things happen to allow for them to happen.
Take a dream job for instance. When Cathy and I started college our dream jobs where very much different to what they are now. But God molded our hearts, passions, desires, and abilities (some times, with out us knowing) to fit the Dream Jobs we have so graciously been given now. When we started college, no way would I have dreamed this is where I would be: @ The Gathering in East Tennessee. And I am sure, I would bet money...That when Cathy started college, she did not dream to stay in Peoria, IL @ The Second Story. But God has given us these desires now.
I told Cathy on her Blog...
That we have a saying around here @ The Gathering...well we have a lot of them : )
But this one goes something like this:
"You don't have to serve, you get to serve".
Meaning that it is an honor and a privilege it is to be on staff at any ministry. To get paid to do what Jesus did. What an honor and a privilege, that He would pick us. I didn't pick this for me. It was by divine appointment and favor that he did this for us. I believe it. That because of our obedience, love, and servant's hearts, He chose us to be on the front lines. Ministry is no picnic. And it's not the highest paid profession. Since graduating college, Cathy and I have been on a ride. I think about Cathy's touring children's theater and Colorado experience...Where God was doing things in her life to prepare her for NOW...A Time Such As This.
I haven't talked with Cathy about this...But If you ask her, I guarantee that she is full of excitement for starting a new job...A Dream JOB...but at the same time she is intimidated/scared and doesn't feel deserving or talented enough to do what she has been called to do. We Both feel that way. There is a lot before us right now... and We are humbled to "get to serve" God and The Local Church...His Bride.
I might start this more often... I'm not sure. If nothing else just to share my ministry here with who ever reads my xanga these days.
*CASEY*
