It's been a pretty busy 1.5 years for me. I use to feel that if I didn't do as much as what most of my peers have done (in the same amount of time since they graduated) then I would have been wasting my life. But you learn that your life is what God makes it and that obedience is all that it takes to find contentment in your life. Comparing my life to another is just asking for discontentment when really my life has been blessed from the beginning through the good and the bad. As this new year begins I say to myself that there are things that I want to do, places I want see, and things that I want to experience. But at the very least I continue to hope that I'm doing what God has called me to do. I balance my career life and my ministry life and I see that God is with me in both. Surely I would like to believe that I'm doing something right :)
