A Troubling Conversation

Recently, I had a very troubling conversation with a friend. However, the ramifications of what were shared are so prevalent today that I should not have been so shocked.

In summary, she was told that her work was “just a job.”

However, this person does not view her work as “just a job.” In fact, she views her work as her mission, perhaps I might even be bold enough to suggest her calling.

I share her desire for work to be more than “just a job.” Work and mission should go together. The challenge is to make this a reality each day. It is very difficult and I fail at this probably more than I succeed. However, in the depth of my heart, I have a longing for work and mission to dance together hand in hand.
