Career vs Mission

we read this chapter of "The Incredible Journey of Faith" by Ray Pritchard and were really moved by God's truth in it.

as we ponder on my possibility to get a new job for more financial stability, and furthering his studies we were at the crossroads of our life. and when this question makes us think, think hard.

"Is your life a career or a mission?"

"There is a huge difference between living for your career and being sent on a mission. The Bible never talks about having a career. Having a career is not a biblical issue. Having a mission is."

"It's not that believers don't have careers. We do. ... But the difference is this: The people of the world live for their careers; the people of God don't."

so what is my mission in life?
i enjoy architecture and interior design and after all that, it's people that matters more to me. i always know i want to help people...i don't know how, i don't know with what, i don't know where. i wish i can do more.

"the question is not what are you doing for a living? The deeper issue is, what are you doing with your life? Why did God put you here on the earth?"

"Use the bigger position to impact the world for Jesus Christ.... Realize that God has put you where you are "for such a time as this" Understand that behind every open door and every promotion stands the Lord God who rules heaven and earth. As you climb to the top, remember who put you there."

if money is the issue, is the change of job with a higher and more stable pay the solution? God pls give me more faith. i need more faith. faith to believe that You will provide me with what's enough to live. that while there's so much bills to pay, faster than both of us can keep up with. i need more faith.
