What it is that I need to do

Hi Karen

Firstly just would like to say I loved reading through the site, thank you for your obedience to the Lord its so refreshing to hear how God has worked in your life and wonderful to see how you helping so many out there....Im at a point where I actually dont know what to do or what it is God wants me to do I have these desires to go into fashion, or interior design etc but not sure where God wants me Im very confused and have been praying about this for a long time I dont want to do something that is not His will for my life I love being creative but find Im at a place where Im very dispondent and insecure about myself and what Im able to do and what it is God wants me to do...Is there anyway you could help me in knowing what it is I need to do?

Ive been in the interior design industry for about 11 years but not designing only doing sales and admin which are okay but I dont enjoy my work at all and need to be where God wants me to be do, at the moment Im just very confused I know I need to work as if Im working for the Lord because at the end of the day its Him that I report to and I have prayed that He help me to enjoy my work but I dont enjoy it at all and dont look forward to each day the way I should, I want to know what it is God has for me could it be that my desires of being creative are not what He wants? at times I think designing is not for me I just dont know its all so confusing ...Is there anyway you can assist?

Thanking you for your time

Hugz & Blessings

Helen

First things first
by: Karen

Hi Helen,

Struggling with these kinds of issues isn't uncommon. Many people wonder if they are where they are supposed to be and are doing what God is calling them to do.

There are two parts to the process of determining what God has in mind for you. But most people aren't willing to do the first part. It is, by far, the most important.

Before you can find out God's specific purpose for you, it is really important that you get REALLY GREAT at being a Christian in your everyday life. Yup, I know. It's so easy to ask what that has to do with anything. The truth is that it has everything to do with finding your purpose.

Getting good at being a Christian means you turn your focus from you to being a blessing to those around you. It means you start asking God to show you those areas where you need to come up higher. Maybe there are areas in your life that don't glorify God. Maybe you're participating in some things that you know are not what God wants.

Maybe God needs you to change and adapt some of your attitudes and habits so He can bring you to the next level.

The mistake most people make is in thinking that your "purpose in life" is this magical thing that should just jump out at you despite every thing else you're doing in your life. It normally doesn't work that way.

Helen, when you make it your goal to be a true Christian first, then you're giving God something to work with. When your heart and attitude is right, then God can start to open doors and reveal more and more to you. See how that works?

You will always move forward when you put God first.

Blessings,

Karen
