I can totally relate to how you feel. I too have a huge desire to be revolutionary. I have a servants heart so I want to meet people, impact them, love them, make a difference, etc. I want to take a drink out and then put ten more drinks back in. Thats why I have such a problem with my present career. I don't feel like performing is changing the world. I am a source of entertainment. I do childrens theatre so at least its good wholesome entertainment. Perhaps my performance may inspire some small child but I don't get to do one on one anything with the people that watch my shows. They come, watch and thats it. Thats not enough for me. I'm going to stretch the analogy and see if it works. It's like we all got a drink. They paid for their drink, the performance and thats fine but I want to go out and give everyone another drink for free. I want to go above and beyond. I want to show them Christ's love. ...I want to be involved. I can't settle for ok or contentment or well I guess I'm good at this. I want to be great because I know that God is better than great and He has amazing plans for my life. He wouldn't give me the desire to be revolutionary if I wasn't supposed to do more. Life takes times. Starting/ Running a business takes time and a lot of discipline and a lot of trust. All I can do is trust, seek, and serve no matter what I'm doing because its all a part of that "growing up" process and part of what will make me the woman (but always a kid) that God wants me to be.<br /> PS- not only do i leave long voicemails but i also leave long responses ;P</p> This is such a cool entry!
