Love Your Work!

Resources for finding your purpose and calling.

Love your work - sounds easy, right?

Whatever we are called to do, we need to do it well. That is easy to do when we find our purpose and calling. The hard part is actually finding your calling.

One thing I do know is that there is no formula to figuring it out. I love formulas and books. They are so much easier to navigate than relationships. I'd really prefer to have an instruction book.

But God just won't cooperate with me on this one. Simply reading a book or taking a test or even asking another person who knows us well is empty without consulting our Creator. These things are not bad in and of themselves, but when we use them as a substitute for getting to know the One who made us and what He has planned, we will come up short. There is no substitute for a life of intimate relationship with Jesus.

However, I think there are some great resources out there to help us on this journey.

I think God has given these people a gift for helping to lead others into their niche in life. Pray first, then ask God to lead you as you consult these experts:

Julie Gorman

Julie Gorman, founder of His Love Extended Ministries, specializes in helping women discover, develop, and do their passion. What I love about her approach is that she helps women develop a closeness with God and learn how to hear his voice. Julie offers a daily devotional blog and a weekly blog talk radio show. I asked her for some advice for busy women who want to seek God's purpose, but have trouble finding time. Read more about Julie and hear her answers to my question.

Dan Miller.

Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love, has many resources for the practical side of loving your work. Visit his website to find books, professional coaching, podcasts, and a community of other people who are seeking work that they love. Dan also offers a DISC based career profile to help you learn more about your own strengths and weaknesses. There are too many resources here to mention. It is definitely worth your time to browse around his site.

Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently By Marcus Buckingham / Thomas Nelson

I was very skeptical when I first saw this book. Who was this sleek-looking guy telling women how to be happy and successful? Is this a message that a Christian woman would even take seriously? It looked like a catchy money-making scam to me.
