I remember wishing for a role I wanted at work. It came with a lot of power, a huge pay increase, a beautiful corner office, and amazing perks and benefits. It was my “dream job.”
I also remember the day I accepted it. I didn’t tell many people, and I remember thinking, “Why am I not happier about this?”
By God’s mercy, I got everything I thought I wanted, only to learn it would never be enough.
Now, for the first time in my life, I don’t have a 401 (k), traditional health insurance, or a five-year plan. It’s been scary at times, but I’m choosing to trust God and live obediently to the One who created me and has a good plan for my life.
The book of Acts ends without a clear conclusion. Paul is still under guard, still waiting—but still proclaiming the kingdom of God with all boldness and without hindrance.
He doesn’t know what’s ahead, he’s just being faithful where he is.
That’s what I want my life to look like.
