The Perfect Career

After finishing high school, I didn’t have a clue what career I should pursue. So I decided to take another year to think about it and make a decision. But a year later, it seemed like I was no closer to the answers. So I decided to go to Bible school for a year or two, hoping to have God tell me at Bible college what career he was calling me to. I soon got involved in the music department at Bible school, and decided that since music has been my passion for all my life, I should pursue a career in music.

However, it was a difficult decision, and this year I've been asking myself, what sane person would gamble on a career in music, an extremely competitive industry, with no back-up plan? 

But now I think I’m starting to realize that my purpose in life is not to be successful in the music industry, or any other industry. My purpose is to be God’s servant. That is my career. That is my calling. That is the reason why I am on this earth. In what forms that will take throughout my life, I don't fully know. But I do know that I am in God’s hands, and as long as I remain his servant, He will guide me to the right schools, the right cities, the right jobs, and the right spouse. As long as I am God’s servant, it really doesn’t matter all that much whether I become a famous singer-songwriter or a garbage collector. Wherever God puts me, that’s the perfect spot for me.
