School has started and our family has a high schooler once again, only this time a grandchild. My mind has gone back to the days when our own children were in high school.
Those years were filled with choices, decisions, and lots of paperwork. Many questions were asked time and time again …
- “What do you want to do after school?”
- “Is there a career you want to pursue?”
- “What are you interested in?”
- “What is the path you want to go?”
The focus was centered on what was it one wanted to “do” as a job, as a vocation, when school was completed.
While the doing is important in life, perhaps we are missing a more important question which should be asked: “Who do want to be?”
It was Paul’s words as found in Colossians which provoked my thoughts recently:
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” (Colossians 3:17, NASB)
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE where we will be looking at how we can better align our character (our being), so the Lord is reflected in all we do.
