Opportunities

For the past two weeks or so I have been praying daily for God to give me an "Opportunity". I've come to realize that just praying for a new job is really not the way to go or perhaps its just not God's plan. I have a 3 folders in my inbox titled "Job Search 2009", "Job Search 2010","Job Search 2011". These 3 folder are each full of Job applications over the years. I have only had a handful of interviews and I don't believe its because I am a bad candidate. I trust that God has a plan for me. A shiny new job...may not be the plan.  Since my prayers for an "Opportunity" I have had not one or two but several exciting conversations about... Haiti? I thought it was clear that I needed to devote my efforts and time to my family, my children but suddenly more people's hearts are stirring. More are thinking of ways to help and this is how big dreams and big things happen. I am still praying for God to give me an opportunity. I think its more exciting than just praying for a new job. I want to do something with all these talents God has given me. I am tired of burying my gifts to sit in front of a computer. I have more to offer this world than just punching a clock and fixing problems that don't change the day let alone change the world. As I pray I wait in expectation. I believe... though my energy is spent. I believe... though my body aches and I feel the stress of this world and the weight of my responsibilities closing in.  Is the "Opportunity" God has for me, Haiti? Is there something there for me and my family? Only time will tell.
