Thoughts from a College Graduate #1

I have the honor and joy to work in a place where almost EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. loves what they do.  We don't just tolerate our jobs.  We genuinely have a passion and holy discontent that is so fierce that we can't imagine ourselves in any other job.  We have fun. We actually love being around each other.  We have fun.  We are like-minded.  We have fun.  We are focused on our goals.  Did I mention that we have fun?

Passion. It's the passion of these people that God is using as He brings transformation to the lives of thousands of people of all ages.

If you are not excited or energized by your job, I have a question for you...why are you there?!  Why are in you in a role that drains you instead of bringing a new energy and passion.  We are not created to work a 9 to 5 job that sucks the joy and passion our of our lives. We are designed to harness our gifts, passions and experiences to do something that we love!  Something that makes the world around us a better place.

So, with all of my *many, many years* (sarcastic. haha...a few weeks) of experience as a college grad in the workforce, I want to urge you to consider your job.  How do you feel when you're working?  Do you have passion?  Do you hate it?  Does it drain you?  Do you count down the minutes for lunch or 5pm?

If you don't love your job,  Why are you still there?  What are you waiting for?
