I've decided today to permanently or temporarily focus the theme of this blog on one thing: my experiences and daily successes or failures at living out Colossians 3:23
"Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as something done for the Lord and not for men. Knowing with all certainty that it is from the Lord and not from man that you will receive the inheritance which is your real reward. The one whom you are actually serving is the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:23-24.
This verse has become my hearts desire now so much more than ever that I have started this new job. Thank you God for my job-I've been gone for so long and haven't had much of a chance to write about it here, but my heart is so thankful.
So very thankful and amazed at the way you worked it all out (my anxiety over the interview in Fort Pierce and the fact that the interview in Orlando-my first choice-was not set for several weeks later, Fort Pierce's notification that I didn't get the job right after Orlando sent me the letter, Mr. V's email and on and on...)
I don't have much time to write now, but I will soon. Despite my initial excitement with my new job and my eagerness to learn and do good, I've been bombarded with questions, doubts, peer pressure, insecurities...and on and on it goes. Worst of alll, I've developed this intense desire to climb the ladder of legal opportunity and prestige and please my superiors. I know it's all wrong, and I realize my perspective has seriously been hampered. That's why I'm writing about Colossians 3. This is my prayer today Lord, and I will focus and direct my energies to making it true in my life.
