Note to parents/teachers
a lot of people  think that there are two possible futures for them - a fun one and the Holy One that God intends for them to do. Nothing could be further from the truth. God gives us all interests, abilities and passions that are uniquely ours and the trick is to find a future using those in order to glorify God and hopefully serve people. If we find that, we will enjoy our work. Too many people get stuck in a career which, like Doug's, offered dreams of riches but unfortunately didn't excite him nor was it in his giftedness. Throughout the Bible we see that holy gifted saints had professions that weren't what people would call" full time Christian service "but in effect they used them in their full time Christian service. You don't have to "go into the ministry" to be in the ministry although that certainly is a worthy calling ,too.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
