Honestly folks, like a lot of you, I have found myself many times feeling like I am living the movie "Office Space" I have an awesome job, don't get me wrong, but I never thought the financial industry would be where I would ever be. When I first started I was pumped (mostly for the salary) and I was kicking booty...they put me full time within a couple months, and now, 2 years later I find myself slacking off terribly, staying on facebook all day, making mistakes, and wishing I was somewhere else all the time.
Satan.
I have let satan get into my head and he's using my job as a downer ya know? As I have begun to progress into grad school, praying about the fact that I want to be an addiction counselor, I wonder sometimes, where is my life going God? Am I going to stay at Security State Bank for 40 more years? Or do you have something bigger planned? I always thought God had something bigger planned for me...but in true Chelsi nature, I want God to want for me what Chelsi wants for me, which is not necessarily surrender. God chose to deal with me tonight on that.
When reading God brought me to 2 places:
Ecc 9:10-Whatever you do, do with all your might for there is no activity, or planning or wisdom or knowledge to Sheol, or the (underworld afterlife we like to call hell)
Give everything 100 percent Chelsi. Thats what God is telling me. We don't do that, we may give 1110 percent to our jobs, and 1 percent to our families. But in giving 100 percent to God we are giving 100 percent to every aspect in our lives. When we are Godly wives, mothers and husbands, fathers, our children and spouses are influenced by God working through you. Your attitude is different, working with others is different. When God is burning inside you the fire spreads and it becomes out of control.
God has provided me with this job in this horrible economy, a job in finance at that. I should look at that as a gift from God, not an interruption to my TV schedule. I don't give 100 percent when i'm there which means i'm not giving God 100%. God wants it all or nothing.
Revelation says in Chapter 3, know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
God wants us to give our lives 100 percent in everything we do, whether it be work, look it as an opportunity, whether it be school, know that God is preparing you for something bigger, and be happy about life. Its too short...don't wait...Give it all to God.
