A college student wants to know if I've always been sure about doing what God has called me to do. And the answer is Yes - I've always been pretty clear about my call, even though my work has changed many times. Our work can change even while our call remains the same. Other questions this week: Did you ever have doubts about what God's plan for your life was? What would you say to someone who thinks that they are "too deep" in their "work" (job) to make a drastic change to turn their life into "Work You Love," How do you personally NOT "separate your work and worship," as stated in the book? What if, as a college student, you can't seem to find "work that you love" in a company, do you choose not work for that company? (despite that maybe you currently can't find another option?) What do I do when everything that I am 'good' at is not anything that I can make a decent living off of?
