"The think I remember best about successful people I've met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they're doing...and it seems to have very little to do with worldy success. They just love what they're doing, and they love it in front of others." --Fred Rogers
I just adore the thought of success being a love for what we do and loving it in front of others.
Last summer I met Emily Freeman at She Speaks, and I've been reading her blog ever since. A couple weeks ago, she wrote some posts about dreams and callings that so beautifully expounded on this same idea. Follow this link to read my favorite.
If you already love what you're doing, great! If you don't, pray that God will either change how you feel or provide a way to do what you love. He has answered both prayers at different times for me, and I rejoice!

And this is my prayer this week. Lord, do you want me to find joy where I am, or am I discontent because You are calling me to something else? Waiting to see. Choosing joy in the meantime.
Amen!I really needed to hear this today. I am praying that God will provide a way for me to do what I love.
I didn't read this until today, Tuesday...and I just love how God let me read it on "His" time.
My husband made this very statement last night, while watching American Pickers. He said, "It's awesome to watch people
doing something they love".
I know this is because sometimes his job is for the paycheck, not the love of what he does. :(
Though I sincerely like my job...I love that God uses me in my home, at my church and through this blog to do what I love most...meet amazing people and share His love.
AWESOME reflection!
