Martyrdom Mentality

Delighting in the Still, Small Voice
Last week, I went on a three day silent retreat at a beautiful home on the Long Island Sound. But I almost canceled it (more than once). I almost canceled this retreat, that I scheduled months ago, precisely because I knew that this time of transition was going to...

![If you’re constantly searching for your true “life’s work”, you’re letting it pass you by.
To set the record straight, I’m not saying you shouldn’t be seeking out that higher purpose in life. But take it from a person who often catches herself saying “God, you must have a greater plan for me than [insert any task my job ever requires of me, even if I really enjoy said task]” — there isn’t any task greater than the one that’s been placed in front of you in that moment.
Just like most Christians, I’m very end-goal oriented. In fact, to prove so, I’m going to share some almost-verbatim tidbits of conversations I’ve had below:
“What’s your biggest priority in life?”
“To go to Heaven when I die.”
“What are you afraid of?”
“Not going to Heaven when I die.”
“How would you want people to remember you when you’re gone?”
“On one of those little laminated Saint cards you get at the fancy cathedrals.”
Call me a Sunday school teacher’s pet all you want, but to be honest, I’m not entirely sure if I deserve a title like that with those answers. Yes – we should all want to be Saints. Yes – the goal is Heaven. But if the lives of the actual Saints are documented for any purpose, their greatest purpose is to show us how to be Jesus for others in the smallest moments of our lives.
Now back to that life’s work question.
Because we are 1) faithful people, who 2) want to go to Heaven, and 3) are looking for the “right path” — I don’t think it’s uncommon to find our day-to-day work unfulfilling.
So if you’re like me and you’re constantly asking God for a chance to fulfill a greater purpose with your life, I’ve got some good news for you. That chance is already right there in your day-to-day, in the small moments that we often let pass by.
