my personal life is my job

I have yet to reflect *publicly* (meaning "on the blog") about how often I think so many situations would be awesome to blog about.

I usually forget, or simply lack the time. However, I was thinking last night what would it be like if your personal life WAS your job... and I decided to blog about it!

It's an interesting thought. And even as I spoke it out loud to my friend Kristen, she simply responded by saying, "then my job would be pretty boring."

Many working people fall into the category of their jobs becoming their lives. But I wonder how many do that due to lack of time for anything else?

Although I'm 23, I have had enough experience with "corporate America" to safely say that I DO NOT LIKE IT. I began my search for alternate ways to make money as soon as I realized that working for bosses who had bosses who had bosses was about as unfulfilling as I could imagine.

I'm not saying at all that this kind of work is horrible in all situations, I'm just saying that it doesn't work for me.

Along the way to where I'm at now, I have made a lot of mistakes. I've been up and down and everywhere in between. I've tried new things, succeeded at some, failed at many.

Out of all the things I have fallen short of succeeding, the most noteworthy is that I have failed to lose my tenacity to seek after God's purpose for me.

The most important aspect of how I live is that I know who I am and I believe in living a purposeful life.

I believe that God will truly give me the desires of my heart when I seek Him.

I believe that my life has meaning beyond what I do every day.

I believe that if I listen, God will speak to me.

He will explain the things that I can't, and show me things unseen.

I want to live my life so that when I die, I will have somehow made a difference for God.

The more I seek after God and announce to Him that I am continually willing to do what He asks me to do, the more I see blessing come on my life.

My personal life became my job when I decided to surrender my life to God and watch Him use me to make a difference in this life. Because really, that's all that matters to me.
