"God didn't call you or me to be 'successful'; He called us to be faithful.
If God calls you to become a medical doctor, you better do it because
that's where you'll be able to fulfill His highest purposes for your life. If
God gifts you to be a mechanic, an attorney, a truck driver or a teacher, then
you will never be fully fruitful doing something else. God doesn't measure
success by sacrifice, salary or university degrees; He measures it be obedience
and faithfulness. The world, and even some in the church, may look at you;
shake their heads and sigh, "What a waste!" But in the end you will
enjoy God's smile, His fruitfulness and His reward."
-From A Passion for Jesus

What a beautiful reminder, Kate... and so true. Doing His will, however menial or "radical" it may look to some, is the most fruitful and blessed "career plan" possible. Just imagine how overwhelmingly pleased the Lord is with you as He watches you daily live out His plan for you in obedience. Love you so much.
That is so true Kate! Thank you for sharing it!
