Staying the Course
December 12, 2008
Dominique told me today that she had begun to reread “Purpose Driven Life” in her quest to realign her priorities.
“I’ve become a workaholic again,” she said. “Sure, I know I could be the ‘World’s Best Adjunct Instructor’ but that’s not what I’m here in DC for. The Lord brought me here to go to school and get my Ph.D and that’s what I’m gonna do.”
I’ve also struggled with staying the course — worrying about money and sticking myself in some lame 9-5 job because I think paying the bills is more important than doing what I’m pretty sure I was put here to do. It was scary to walk away from my crappy association job … it was a steady check. But I’ve learned in the past few weeks that by constantly plugging myself in positions where I don’t belong, I’m saying to myself that I don’t trust God enough to provide for me. So as Omari always says, I took the leap of faith.
2009 will be my year. I have my book coming out as well as a bevy of other projects that have been simmering in my brain for quite some time. So stay tuned because I’m about to make a name for myself after all …
