“All we have to do is decide what to do with
the time that is given to us ….” (Gandalf
the Grey) Ah, if only that was as simple as it sounds. But how does one decide
what to do with one’s life? How do you know what your purpose is, or what you
love doing above all else? I have come to that difficult season in life where I
have to choose a career. Yet it is so difficult for me to decide what I want to
do for what could be the rest of my life. I want to do something that I love
doing, but also something that impacts and helps others. But I have not found
out what that something is yet.
We all eventually reach this stage
in life. Some are fortunate enough to know exactly what they want to study and
what career they want to pursue. Then there are those of us who have to strive
and pray and pray, wondering and worrying about the future, hoping that there is
a reason why we are this earth. Questions like “What is my role on this
earth?”, “Why am I here?” and “What is it that God made me for?” stream through
our minds and when they remain unanswered for so long, one can begin to feel a
little lost and hopeless.
This post may seem just like
ramblings of what is pressing on my mind. Yet I know that I am not the only one
out there asking questions like mine. I want to encourage myself and you with
the simple fact that God knows your future and that He is in control. There is
a reason why He made you and He will reveal that reason in His own time. So as
we continue to worry and seek and feel utterly frustrated, let us try to be
patient: our time will come too.
