I'm reading this book still, called: "The Journey of Desire" and it's revolutionizing my mind and spiritual walk, i think.
John Eldredge quotes Dorothy Sayers (whoever she is):
"Work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do."

and this is truth.  He also talks about this:
"if only it were so, if only we could land our "dream job", where we'd be paid to do what we love.....The rest of us look on from the sidelines, with longing, held back from our dreams by fear or heartache or the demands of the life we do have."

This is partly WHY it's so hard to be in that spot in life where yer trying to figure out what you wanna do with your life: your JOB, your CAREER.
"Eve, what happened?"
We were meant to be Kings and Queens over this land and rule and have those dream jobs....but something happened. Now we strive to figure out what we lost, or what we have done wrong.

But there's hope cuz Jesus allows us to know what HIS desire for us truly was.  What we were truly meant for....companionship, fellowship, relationship...all the ships...! worship.
this book is great. It reminds me of that other book John wrote- called "---shoot, i can't think of the title. It's another book kinda like this one, but it's meant for guy to read, i guess. But I read it, cuz it really intrigued me. something like the "The Heart's desire, or something like that."
(this is now after the fact that i published my blog- but the title of the book is called Wild at Heart)!
I've always wanted to write a book, but when i think about it, the thought is overwhelming becuz i wouldn't know the first step. I'm sure autumn is gonna write a book. Actually, we are all gonna write a book together.
something like a testimoney a bit...about our lives growing up- in the household that we did.
ugh.
i'm set free from the law...of sin and death and every other thing that bound be when i was little...i'm gonna make myself something to eat- I'm at work right now.
