Hi, dear brethren.
I´d like to share something and, once more, know your opinion.
This post is about work. So:
- God wants us to work.
Plus:
- God gave us gift(s).
Now to the issue: I´m a teacher. For the last 17 years I´ve been teaching in public schools..
Part one of my problem: I´m tired of my profession!
The last 7 years have been particularly hard to handle. I feel very unhappy with my job; I do not believe in the educational system of my country; kids (and mostly their parents) are getting even harder to handle with; every year I must have a new school, many times far from my family (I´m a substitute teacher, by one year contract, at best); teachers are many times despised by the majority of the population, but worse, by some parts of the Government; etc.
Part two of my problem: I´m very confused with all this matter. Why? Because, not only I think I have some of the gifts needed to be a teacher, as I can´t understand IF is it God´s will for me to continue being a teacher!
I do want to work! However, I keep thinking (and wishing) to have a different profession/job! But, taking in account all of the written above, my main question is this:
- If God wants me to continue being a teacher, shouldn´t I feel happy, with motivation and believe in the work He would want/wants me to do?
What´s your view about this, brothers and sisters?
Blessings!
