My friend said something this past week that made me stop and think. She told me that she usually goes for jobs that she is overqualified for, because she knows she can get hired for them and easily do them. Then, after a few months, she is bored and quits. She said that it was time to change this pattern in her life and take more risks.I rudely interrupted her as she was telling me about her current job situation, because it just sounded so much like me! I do the same thing. In a competitive job market, it is easier to go for the safe job. Less rejection, less compensation, less stimulation, but oh, so much easier and quicker to acquire. But in the end, she is right, we never last too long at these jobs.
When will we finally just give up trying to do everything else and go for those things that God has made us to do and put some sweat into learning them.
I am rebuked and challenged. Thanks, Awa.
These are the bananas on my kitchen counter on their way to being overipe and qualified for fine banana bread.
