More than this

I felt the stirring in my heart again today. It was unexpected, I thought I was in the process of recharging. But it came, I guess God has his ways which I cannot imagine. Pastor Lawrence challenged that God wants to use our lives for something greater than what we are doing now. Mid-life career switch, it may not be something I am facing or anytime soon but it is not something unfamiliar to me. Being in a course where 90% of my classmates are gg thr midlife career switch, it has become a common topic of conversation for the past 6 months with them. What pushes them to take the step, with all the challenges ahead. I guess it's a realization, that life must be MORE THAN THIS. Afterall, hasn't God come so that we may have life to the full?

As Buford wrote in his book, Half Time, “My passion is to multiply all that God has given me, and in the process, give it back.” A very interesting way to look at our lives, to see the transition period from the first part of life to the second as half-time. To do something we lose touch with for over 10 years, now that's a challenge. To me, the realization does not have to wait till we are at our midlife, it starts whenever we reach the point when we question, "So, now what?" When we are ready to accept God's call to that question. God, I am in anticipation for what you are going to speak and I hope my response will be, "Here I am, send me."
