I am curious, because I have always struggled with not knowing what I wanted for a career, and not feeling like I have a strong calling to one particular field. I am 24, and wondering if this is not unusual. I graduated from college with a Liberal Arts major three years ago, and have been working for two and a half years.
I would welcome specifics regarding age and the process you went through in figuring out "what you wanted to do when you grew up."  |
I still wonder what I'm "called" to. But I think we all do have a calling. We all have gifts and talents given us by God and in His providence he puts us where he wants us to be. Our job is to glorify him with the gifts he has given us in the circumstances he places us. Remember the parable of the talents. Some were given 10, some 5, some 1, yet all were required to be fruitful with what they had. You may also be gifted in some areas which have multiple applications. For example, in my life, I started out a Navy Nuke, then became an ER Nurse, now training for ministry. The Lord for some reason gave me a scientific geek mind to analyze and diagnose things, all which have helped in my circumstances, and it's a great help in theology and Bible study too. So consider what God has gifted you with. Consider your interests and things you do well (even things you may not enjoy but do well). And trust the fatherly hand of God, who put you where you are for his good purposes.
