So many options...

Last night at Financial Peace University we were asked the question "If money was not a setback, what would you choose to do with your life?"

Now, this might sound a little conceited, please don't take it that way though...

I have been blessed in so many ways. I have often thought, "I wish I could give something inside of me to someone else. That way I would not have to feel guilty about not using some of my talents."

I have musical talent.- I wish I could gig every weekend, make a record, and be more involved in the praise and worship ministry.

I have artistic talent- I wish I could open a gallery, teach workshops, do custom paintings.

I have a heart for teenage girls- I wish I could spend quality time with every girl in my small group, take them on trips, learn who they are.

I have an eye for design and architecture.- I wish I could custom-design homes for people.

I am athletic and in good shape.- I would love to get into personal training, I would love to play in a court volleyball league.

Every time I think about these things, I get overwhelmed. I look at all of the things I am capable of doing. And they are all good things! All things that would fulfill a passion and desire inside of me.

But, I have to constantly remind myself that there is a season for everything.

Right now primarily, it is my season to be a mother. And I really do love my job! I am learning how to take the talents God has given to me, and apply them to being a mommy. Things like, doing art projects with Javen... even if it is just scribbling with crayons. 

When you are in the position I am in, with so many options, so much you could be doing... you have to cheat something. I don't want to cheat my family. I trust that the opportunity for me to experience more is on it's way...in God's timing.

What about you? What would you do? Or are you doing it???
