I’m still wondering if making a living from a sail boat is the best use of my time. At church I watched a montage of Martin Luther King Jr. quotes. The quote “We must use time creatively -- and forever realize that the time is always hope to do great things." really got to me. Am I doing great things by working from a boat?
At times of doubt I often journal…..not in a diary….or my guy friends would beat me up (emotionally). But, when I draw. My journal entry on this drawing says:
Journey – Snowy, windy day, white outs from the North. This road makes me think of the journey God has me on, unexpected turns, yet still heading in the same direction. Winds of change can bend me, but God’s strength keeps me from breaking.
I guess if I always do what I love (use my gifts to help people) I’m heading in God’s direction for my work life.What do you think about following a destiny?
I'm never quite sure about the journey ahead...I just seem to walk blindly by faith most of the time. Seems I just put my head down and get busy doing what needs to be done since there's never any shortage of tasks ahead of me. It's only when I look back at my life that I can see how the "pieces of time fabric" produce a pretty amazing and funky patchwork quilt. In the meantime, experience shouts at me, "Don't worry, be happy!"

I can hear that Jamaica singer saying "Don't Worry, Be Happy". And, there is a lot of truth in that song.
ReplyDeleteIf God truly gifts us with special abilities, we don't have to worry about how to use them, we will perform with those gifts even when we "put hour heads down and get busy". I guess the advise I take is to keep doing what I do well.
Thanks LP
