Your Life
In a recent survey over one thousand people were asked the question:
Do you like your job?
Less than 30% of respondents said they enjoyed their job. Regretfully there are other sobering statistics:
- More than 50% of all college graduates are not working in their field of study
- An individual entering the workforce will on average have over 10 different jobs and almost 5 different careers
It is no wonder that business owners complain about employees not being focused, surfing on the Internet, coming in late, leaving early, extending lunch hours, performing shoddy work, etc. The explanation for this is simple. If you do not have a passion for what you are doing, it will more often than not translate into mediocre job performance. For some, money is oftentimes an incentive, but a temporary one at best. Money's ability to motivate eventually wears off over time. The toys, baubles, and distractions it will buy doesn't satisfy our longing for something more. Undoubtedly, the prevalence of job dissatisfaction has resulted in many people mechanically going through the motions of life in an effort to make a living, instead of actually making a life.
Our current educational system, in essence, is designed to only teach people how to obtain that proverbial "good job." Recent statistics indicate that 95% of the population will work for over 45 years but will still not be financially independent when they retire. This is the sad eventuality of the world’s plan for our lives and unfortunately, it is a plan designed for people to just merely exist. On the contrary, God’s wonderful plan for each of our lives far transcends just existing. His sovereign plan is for each of us to fulfill the calling on our lives so that we may live an abundant life.

The Life
So how can you live life more abundantly? God promises to those called according to HIS purpose a life of abundance when we are laboring in the work He has created us to do.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10).
God has designed and equipped HIS people for specific assignments throughout our lives for which we are perfectly suited. If we first seek to do God’s will and walk in His pre-ordained purpose for our lives, then everything else will fall into place. Imagine the joy, health, satisfaction, and peace to be experienced by walking in God’s will for your life while concurrently loving what you do!

The Journey
"The Lord is Good, that does not mean HE is easy."
Success is a journey, and the journey with GOD shall not be an easy one. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. -- Matthew 10:34 - 38
We do not want you to be misled. Only those who GOD is calling to HIMSELF should apply. You can only fulfill GOD's calling by GOD doing HIS work through you, not you doing GOD's work. However, if you are tired of doing and doing on your own and you are ready to do GOD's work GOD's way, we would be blessed to be fellow sojourners in your Assignment.
