I want to issue a little challenge to my readers today. A few years back I scanned a book by a famous pediatrician that basically made the case for the divine calling, or unique imprint, on each individual life (though it was not a religious book). His premise was that a lot of the kids we categorize as having a disorder, in reality have brains which are wired for a very specific job or skill set. Thousands of young people are not mentored and do not fully activate that set of abilities. It's the reason our prisons full to bursting. It's confusing and empty not to realize some or all of your calling.
Back to my challenge for you, my wonderful readers. Many of you are mired in the muck of everydayness. I may have made up a word there, but, no matter. With the economy in tatters and all of those well-dressed (and highly paid) media persons screaming about the fiscal cliff, many are just happy to be working at all, not having the luxury of finding the job that is the perfect fit. Doesn't mean they cannot spend some time doing something that makes them want to sing. Ask yourself honestly the following question: "What is that one thing that makes me feel as if I am flying high over my problems and soaring through a blue sky when I do it?" For me, this is writing. I get excited about a new blog post, can hardly wait to start tapping these keys. I could be having the most stifling, duty-laden day on record and the thought of a few minutes of writing gives my heart wings. Find this one thing for yourself. If you can think of a way to bless others while doing it, so be it. If not, carve some time anyway and do it as unto the Lord...He enjoys watching you enjoy being the you He made you to be.
Don't forget to live a balanced life. God is in it! Pray for His blessing on your path, and do not be ashamed to do so!
