Working For A Living?

in faith

I think there is no such thing as working for a living. Working in or on a job that is not meant for you is futile. And if you are working so much that all you do is sleep afterward you certainly are not living.

I have been out of the Navy for about 10 months now. I have had 3 jobs. I keep changing jobs thinking the next one will be the right one but it never is – the right one. I think a person should be able to get paid for doing what they love. I love music. I was born a musician.

Some people will tell you you’ve got to do what you’ve gotta do. Well, beyond my wanting to get out of debt this year, that’s a bunch of crap. I am miserable without music being a large part of my life. If you haven’t guessed I was a musician in the navy. I still was not satisfied because I wasn’t doing my own music.

Now that I am out I want to do my thing, which is creating new music, whatever that may be. One of the reasons I am working so hard to get out of debt is so that I can save some money to set a pro tools studio in my home. Once I have what I need I intend to work only part time and begin working for what I love instead of working for living.

I of course will still be using the mechanics of faith that I have been learning for the past several months. I still practice in the word of God though not nearly enough. Most importantly I have not quit nor do I intend to. I believe the only way to get what I want is by faith. I must. I don’t want to end up not accomplishing the dreams I have inside me. I believe they are God given and were meant for me to accomplish.

If anyone reading this has dreams that you have not accomplished you shouldn’t give up. Learn how to use faith in God’s word to accomplish the dreams of your heart. I can testify that it is not easy but, I believe is is worth all of my effort. May God bless you and strengthen you.

It’s not music. I am miserable without God being the center of my life. The closer I get to that, the better I feel. Music is not what does it for me.
