Career Drama

"When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy." Psalm 94:18-19 

Recently, conversations with friends have revealed that we're all looking for more out of our lives. We're consumed with thoughts about how we aren't where we thought we'd be at this time or we're now realizing that our career really isn't all that we thought it would be. All in all, a relationship status, career, salary, or friendships shouldn't define us. We don't find worth and value in those things. We should be depending on Christ's love and support, trusting Him to guide us daily. Happy Tuesday! 

*Side note: the first e-mail I read today said "Casey- You are a superstar in my eyes!!! Thanks so very much!" From a customer who did not think I was incompetent lol Great way to start the day! 

2 Corinthians 1

"...the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ." 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Consider this: if you seek comfort in shopping, entertainment, and surrounded by distractions, how can God comfort you? Then, when people seek you for advice and comfort you're not pushing them to Christ, but instead suggesting things to "get them through." Every life experience is two fold: to strengthen the individual and to strengthen others. Don't cheat yourself out of valuable lessons. Seek comfort from the ultimate comforter. Happy Thursday!
