I read this post by Amanda last night. It really hit me in a deep way. I strive so much to do Gods will, to live my life so that he is proud of me. To show him in every moment of the day how much he means to me. My job is to proclaim Jesus Christ as my savior, and to live a life that is pleasing to him. My job is to show others what can happen in their lives if they only trust and believe in him. Its my job to not be hypocritical, or judgmental. But to be understanding and unwavering in my faith. My job is to love others as God has loved me. To be empathetic, but honest. And to worship the man who gave his only son for ME.
I may get paid to work at Snap!VRS, but my job is to follow Jesus. I'm only here, on this earth, temporarily. Though I will never be the perfect woman, I will always love Jesus, and love him with all of my heart, because that is what he deserves, and with all he's done for me, thats the least I can do!
So, even if some days I don't like what I do, I love my job!!!
Thanks for that post Amanda. Thanks for making me stop and think, and to really begin to understand what my path in life is, and where God wants me to be.
