God has been calling me in a way that is much more clear and real than I've had in a long time. Last summer I started dealing with unrest in my life. And I answered slowly, feeling things out and in that process I applied for The World Race. I had no idea of what was in store for me. Still don't, acutally.
But God does.
In college, as a way to keep each other dreaming, my friends and I would ask each other, "What is your dream job? If money were no issue, what would you do with your life? How would you spend your time?" And by the end of college my answer was that I would travel the world with someone and listen and tell stories. In word, pictures, video, art, it didn't matter. I wanted to step into foreign lands and tell people about the importance of their story, because: it has fingerprints of God; it is unique; it is relatable for someone else; it is their history, present, and the background to their future.
And it is as WR has become more of a reality that I've realized this…God is givng me my dream job. And it's even bigger now. I'm not traveling with one person, but a community of people. I'm not just going to be hearing and telling stories, but living them. I won't only be witnessing the touch of God in someone's life, I have the chance to be a part of that touch!!!!! I get to experience my dream job with His name on my lips, His song in my heart, His call on my life.
For some strange reason, that I can't understand, God is blessing me with more than I can grasp and challenging me with more than I'm comfortable with. But I'm more excited than words can express because of the beauty of His glory now present and clear in my life.
With that joy singing loudly, I have to ask, "What is your dream job? If money were of no consequence, what would you do with your time?" I'm just starting to see that my dream job will probably look nothing like I imagined it. It will be better.
