Live your life in a way that when you step out of bed in the morning, Satan says "oh crap, she's awake!"
I am ashamed to say that lately, Satan would not be scared of me at all. In fact, I am guessing that he is probably laughing as I attempt to write a confession sitting here in an empty office.
This is my last day as an intern with the Hilton and I have realized that over the course of 15 weeks, I have lost my focus as to who I was created to be. It is pretty easy to become focused on an exciting new career, possible job offers, professional appearance, and saying the right things to impress people. But I am pretty sure that when God created me 21+ years ago, He did not exactly have those things in mind. I don't know for sure what He had in mind but I know it was to Glorify Him.
It is easy to get caught up in the world. To live a life outside of a life you live in is rather confusing to write, let alone do. But living a life outside of this life is what is pleasing
and holy
and true
and what we, as God's creation, are called to do.
I was not created to be an intern, to wear a nice suit, to drive a nice car. I was created to love on the people I intern with and see as I'm driving back to Bloomington because those are the people that God created to do the same things I am supposed to be doing. Living a life that is pleasing
and holy
and true
because that is the greatest job, salary, love, and fulfillment we could ever have.
Soli Deo Gloria.
