The Desires of your Heart


When I first heard this phrase from Psalm 37, I wondered what my desires and passions are in my heart. I know what I would LOVE to do, I know what my dream job would be. I read books, blogs, Twitters and everything else under the sun about leadership and those who push/challenge those to live your dreams.... but how? How do you take where your at and become what you think you want. I read dozens and dozens of stories and the one common thread between them all is that God blessed them and something amazing happened. So what does it take to receive such blessing? I know it isn't anything I can do other than being faithful and prayer. But why does God make me/us wait. I keep hearing a song on the radio by Brandon Heath "Wait and See" and that seems to be the only thing that is keeping me going.

I love the church I work at, I'm so blessed to have a job in a church and get paid for it especially in this season of our country. So on one hand I can't be taking anything for granted and on the other when could I start DOING the passions of my heart without complaining and grumbling. Cynicism is my new enemy.

God, what do you want me to do with my life? Just wondering.....
