Hey, hey Boo! It’s Monday and what better way to start off the week than with the following reminders:
- Genie pants don’t look good on women with curves. [Learn from my mistakes]
- Men should never, ever belch out a bible verse. [I’m sure that’s against the Ten Commandments or something.]
- Your job should be a calling, not a career. [Easy to say, hard to do.]
I’ve had the unique honor of getting to ask Christine Caine some questions inquiring minds want to know. Though the question was specific to her role as a teacher and preacher, I feel it applies to many of us who struggle with walking the diving line between calling and career.
She flipped the script on me and turned the interview back on me half with through. But together we landed on a fresh reminder that God’s purpose for our life is to build an isolated kingdom or platform. Our purpose is the build a kingdom of Jesus Christ… even if that means dying to our selves in the process.

I swear this has been the hot topic at work right now. When you’re changing dirty diapers, cleaning up potty accidents, handing in lesson plans, observation reports, parents breathing down your neck, etc.. you question your calling! Am I crazy?!?!?! I have a great boss who is so encouraging and reminds us on a weekly basis at our meetings that at our preschool we are called to love on our little ones and especially the parents! Crazy awesome post B thanks a bunch!
Hi Bianca,
I can relate with this one yet have many troubles regarding it. I received my career (teaching ) through a private christian university and it was a great time in my life. However, I feel so much guilt for going to this school and attaining loans and sometimes I feel that I was selfish to go and limited God because now I’m NEEDING to work to pay these bills. I tell myself “I should have gone to a state school” and the guilt builds as I feel I limited Gods calling on my life to be able to just “go”. Is this condemnation from the enemy or how can I go about this in a way that glorifies the Lord. I mean, I do see so many things that show me my time there has affected people with a purpose and I didn’t go their life would have been different.
I went to a private university too. I feel you. But our God owns “a thousand cattle on a hill” as David tells us. Do the best you can. Remain faithful. Stay responsible. Be willing.
It’ll fall into place. It always does! XO
