thought to pause

i am in a season where i have to decide what i want to do with my life... and reading the book mentioned in the previous post, i stumbled upon this quote...

"It is wrong, it is sin, to accept or remain in a position that you know is a mismatch for you. Perhaps that's a form of sin you've never even considered - the sin of staying in the wrong job. But God did not place you on this earth to waste away your years in labor that does not employ His design or purpose for your life- no matter how much you may be getting paid for it!!"

i guess money is not everything...

Hi Marnell, I came across your pages and I just wanted to let you know that Flavio and I are praying for you. Also, Flavio is looking for a job and the quote you report has been really encouraging to him. We will continue to pray for you, please do pray for us us well. Ciao Cinzia

Hi there. Great quote!

You put a message on my blog ages ago, and I'm only now getting round to responding - sorry!!! Thank you, btw. I'm in Pretoria working with OM's HIV/AIDS network. Just started, but am slightly overwhelmed at the moment, hence the long delay in communicating. Where are you a youth worker?

hugs,S
