Two weeks ago I spoke to a friend. I said, “I want to know what God’s will is for me.” I have so many things I want to do. I feel the weight of my many gifts and talents. Where should my focus be?
My friend turned around and asked me, “What do YOU want to do?”
Oops. Now that’s a different story!
He said, “If God were to asked you, ‘Angel, what do you want me to do for you?’ what would you ask him?”
Hmmm. This might sound strange but I guess the truth is, I feel better NOT knowing his will for me because it keeps me from taking responsibility for my own life and decisions (mistakes and failures). As long as I don’t know, I can stay play it safe and stay put where I am.
“Angel, what do you want me to do for you?”
I’ve been making a list. Not a haphazard but a carefully thought through one. Here’s one that I added to my list two days ago…
I have a dream. I want to write a whole series of “_____’s story as told to Angeline Koh.”
It was so fulfilling writing, How the Moken Sea Gypsies got their Book — Naw Say Bay’s story as told to Angeline Koh.” It will happen all in his time.
