I almost embarassed to say it...but I have another snow day! As if the one wasn't gift enough, I got another one! Therefore, I'm trying hard to get something actually accomplished today--besides the half-hour nap on the couch... ;)
Today I had a conversation with a fellow co-worker at the gym (she too on a snow day). We began talking about passions in life. What is your passion? What is it you feel God calling you to do with your life? I have to say, I always have had an answer to this question. Without hesitation I could always answer school nursing: working with kids and their families to promote their health and well-beings. But this school year has been a struggle for me. My role as a school nurse has become more managerial and less hands-on with kids. And now with the possibility of a promotion to even a higher management level in school nursing, I suddenly am at a crossroads of what to do with my life. Is my passion changing? Is God calling me to stretch myself or simply stay put? I know I still am helping kids, but I really miss the one-on-one contact I had with them.
There have been many times in my life when I wish God would speak to me through a simple letter in the mail.
Dear Rachel,
Currently I am doing (blank) in your life. It may be a bumpy ride right now, but rest assured we will end up (blank) in the end. The following is an itinerary of what steps I will be taking to get you where you need to be in the end...
--GOD
yeah, I know it doesn't happen like that, but wouldn't that be awesome? :)
well, just more thoughts on a snowy winter day. I do know, from 30 years experience, that God will give me direction. He has never failed to provide a roadmap for me in the past, so as long as I pack my compass--I know I'll always be on the right path.
