my morning chapters have really been hittin home the past few days. Sept 14: Job, Career, or Calling? “Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” - Mary Oliver This chapter sent me on a rabbit trail of thoughts, the foremost being “By playing it safe, what does that say about our faith in God?” I know when I think about my dreams, the things I’ve always wanted to achieve in life, specifically when I’m in that daydreaming mode, I never worry about if it makes sense, or is practical, or if I’ll be able to pay the bills or what other people will think. But when I snap back to reality and begin thinking about my current responsibilities I start thinking “oh that’s just a daydream. it just doesn’t make sense for that to happen right now.” even though it’s tugging on my heart HARD. This led me to the idea that, when we’re “in the daydream zone” we don’t worry about these things because GOD doesn’t worry about these things. He gives us our calling and knows He will equip us. But when we snap back (& begin overthinking bc the enemy certainly doesn’t want us to fulfill our calling) we begin thinking about our responsibilities. 🤯 anyway - you basically just read my journal entry for this morning.
