We went up to Lake Greenwood, SC this weekend, and the theme was "Spiritual Gifts." These things, if you're a Christian, can totally change the direction of your life! They affect everything from how you treat your friends, to how you serve in church, to what type of job you have.
When we learned about how these gifts can affect your job, it frightened me. My spiritual gifts don't match up with the skills required to be a journalist! You have to be outgoing, a people person, everything that I'm not! Kevin also taught us that if you get a job that you're not cut out for, you will be unhappy until you quit.
I'm struggling with that right now. I want so bad to be a journalist, to go cover all of the sports that I know and love. I want to write about things that I have a passion for, and because I play sports and watch them constantly, that is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. Something where I'll meet my heroes... and be far, far, FAR away from anything mathematical.
I was totally unprepared to find out that I don't have the gifts to be a journalist, I have to develop them. So... ugh.
But, my weekend was fun, and I'll periodically post things from our study booklet on here.
Oh, and the best part of the weekend (I promised I'd tell ya'll this), was when we were under a tornado warning. 18 people crowded into a space 2/3 the size of my bedroom (my room is 13 x 13), waiting to be able to go back upstairs. After a while, people start getting restless, and the guys start being obnoxious. Meaning, they start burping, joking, and secreting deadly atomic bombs from their rear ends.
Holy crap...

btw - I just read the last para. of your post...I'm ROFLOL....
Holy snap, that was alot of info. However, I'm really glad that you shared that. It makes me feel better, because you and I have exactly the same problem. We know what we WANT to do, but we're not cut out to fit our desires. So, we're going to try and fit ourselves into the mold, which we know won't work. We also know that by doing this, we are displeasing God. Life is so confusing... like the 7-hour-long algebra session today.
And holy crap, that last part of the post is GREAT! You should have been there, you wouldn't think it was funny then... lol
