Faith For Career Planning

Using faith for career planning is an important step in the discovery, development and utilization of your interests, talents, abilities and experience to bring you the greatest fulfillment. 

  

Take Control Of Your Destiny by Faith In God

Contrary to what many people believe, it doesn't matter what your age or where you are in life, if you have an unfulfilled dream, you need to realize it. Everyone was designed for a special purpose, so if you're not already, start living yours today by taking just one step, even if you feel stuck in a job you hate!  All you have to do is seek after what will make you happy and you've started the journey. 

You can and should seek after the destiny you were given - It will yield the work that will give you passion and joy to get up in the morning.

If you think it's too late, you're fooling yourself. Even if you come against an age barrier because you're older than the requirements of a specific work or job, seek God and He will show you the way to find fulfilling work in a similar direction that will bring you greater joy.

You Have A Voice

Most of us as children had an idea or passion about what we wanted to do as adults. Sadly as time passed, some of us either lost sight of our dreams, or we were told by those we respect that they're too high for us to attain because our expectations are out of proportion with our ability.

If you were fed that baloney, you were fed a lie! God put a dream in your heart to fulfill, and you can attain it or anything you want to do through His ability. You can begin right now by sitting down and taking some time to begin a career planning outline that will help you get started finding out what you would like to do and then how you're going to set about achieving that goal.  It's best to break down the career, ministry, non-profit or business that you desire into small goals.  The busier you are the smaller the goals.  This way you will have the joy of changing your life even if you're busy.

As an example, I became a professional artist almost overnight. I was in my late twenties. I felt a strong leading to paint in oils and acrylics, and once I did, I began selling my work within a few weeks. I can honestly say that I never had one lesson as a child and I only took one remedial art class in mosaics as a teen. However I didn't have the confidence to pursue the interest that one class gave me in art.

In fact nothing happened in my life to give me confidence to do anything. When I was nine, I submitted my artwork to a weekly paper that was distributed nationally to all the churches of my denomination. My drawing of Jesus was accepted, but when I showed it to my family, they just looked at me like, so what! I never drew another thing again until I began painting as an adult.

My mother had told me from the time I could remember that I wasn't capable of achieving anything in life and that it was best I didn't speak because I sounded stupid. That impacted my life so much that I never spoke in school unless I had to, and when I did, I stuttered. I didn't even sing in our group chorus for my six grade graduation. It was mandatory, but they let me sit in the audience because I was too afraid to participate.

In high school I hardly spoke to anyone I didn't already know. It wasn't until I left home that I began to speak without it being painful. Once I was no longer around the judgmental relatives who didn't have my best interest at heart, I was "free to be ME." Sounds silly, but it's difficult for people to find success when they keep a close relationship with people who want them to fail.  It's a sad truth, but one that should be recognized.

I was pitiful all right! But this isn't a pity party.

Because I was such an extreme case of low self-esteem, I'm a great example for many because with God's help and guidance I became a full-functioning person. Those who doubt that God can turn their lives around can use my testimony to see that God can work miracles in our lives when we just trust in Him.

God has given me a voice and He has given you one too!

Should your past be worse than mine, you can still look at me and say, "well even though her life was a mess, she made it. All the more reason that I can."

My life had struggles along the way due to my difficult background, but as I trusted God I was able to make the changes I needed to achieve my goals.  So my life turned out great!  

My painting career led to a  successful home business creating craft projects, testing them and then writing and selling the instructions.  I loved every minute of it until I was led to write Christian materials and begin a ministry!  However, I'm still selling those same craft books on my Christmas and craft site today!  You can visit there to see the proof.  God never wastes anything we do.  And now that I'm retired, I have more time for a little art now and then.

So, you get the picture. I had a voice and so do you! No excuses as to why you can't do anything. God will show you the way.  He will help you change your negative mentality into a belief that you can do anything through Jesus Christ.  He will help you to get the training or education you need, and He will give you the ability when you need help beyond your experience. It's that simple! Really! God will carve out a special path for you and lead the way.
