To not do that, to try to ‘fit’ our selves into something else is like wearing a too-small shoe: It pinches and makes it difficult to keep moving forward."<br /><br />Yep yep! The trick is to differentiate between earning a living and pursuing our calling. Sometimes the two are the same, but more often we must be like Paul, making tents to put food on the table while we also use the unique gifts God has given us. I imagine that tent making actually provided Paul with opportunities to serve God by using his gifts! So, jobs that seem like "merely work" can actually give us chances to pursue our divine purpose. It is up to us though to make use of the time we're given.RandomThoughtshttp://www.thecafeallegro.com/randomthoughtsnoreply@blogger.com
