I am excited and honored that Joel Boggess will join Purposeful Pathway Radio tomorrow, Wednesday February 6th. Joel Boggess, Author of Finding Your Voice, has the heart of a teacher and the patience of a friend. Joel blends his educational experience together with a passion for helping others to realize their God-given potential. Joel will share insight and inspiration from his own purposeful pathway!  Enjoy his guest post below.

 

It was easy to see that she had a strong work ethic. Carolyn was diligent, punctual and could be counted on, come rain or shine.

And, as respectable as her time-clock record showed her to be, even the highlight of a good sales month would quickly fade into the background, since it didn’t advance her emotional health or warm her heart, as much as it boosted her company’s bottom line.

She needed something that would nurture her soul as well as her pocketbook; something that would help her make a difference, in a way that made a difference to her.

Fundamentally, I’m sure she had known that for quite some time, but had, at some level, given up, because she didn’t know where to look or how to find it.

Around the third time we met, the conversation shifted from gifts and skill-sets to how do you see yourself contributing, growing and making a difference?

In essence, I was asking her for pieces of her vision. I say pieces because, in my experience, that’s how God reveals things: in pieces.

His revelations don’t come as a full-length, Avatar-like presentation.

They come as sneak peeks, highlights, and previews of a possible future.

It is then up to us, to step-into our wonderful, developing story.

Now, back to Carolyn. After giving herself the opportunity and the space to articulate her vision on paper, (in her case poster board) not only did she learn to embrace the glimpses of her coming attraction, she also learned how to harness the energy that came from the direction she had found.

Take a look at the vision board Carolyn designed. (Her’s is on the bottom right.) You’ll have no trouble understanding what it is that lights her fire.

Questions for reflection and discussion: What glimpses or peeks has God revealed to you that have been brushed off (by yourself or others) as either not “practical” or “realistic”?
