how does one find their true calling?

Question

1. First of all, If i dont find the right job for me, i will have to settle for anything...so do you know any budgeting and shopping techniques that help to stretch a small paycheck? I know people out there can do it and HAVE to do it.
2. I want to find a job that will allow me to serve God and also make an income to buy basic needs for my family...I am in dire need of working to provide for my six-person family and I have only ONE more month to find something quick; but - take my word for it - there is no daycare in the area for my newborns! how do i find a work-from home job but also find the career that I was born to do?
3. I know the obvious answer is to do what I enjoy but that is not always the best answer. IF you are a Christian, what do YOU do for a living? I need ideas!

cassandra, what in the world is your point? You've stated lots of obvious things and havn't answered my question or even given a suggestion of what sort of work I could do in order to stay home with my kids. I wasted several minutes reading your answer.

Answer 1

if you believe in God he will see that you have food and shelter..if you help yourself and put him first above all.
you advised that there were no daycare for newborns. Why not open your own daycare in your neighborhood? I'm sure their are mothers that would like for someone to care for their new born's. especially when you keep only 2 plus your own. 5 days a week, some saturday's off Sundays for church. it is very rewarding and child setting is a very important job. our children live want they learn. section off a room in your house for only you and baby(s).you'll be so busy time will fly. check the local library on the rules and regulations.
prayers,
terik
let me know how you do.
where i live it is $95.00 a week and on fri. we have to pack a lunch. this is for one child. if it is baby's it is more due to diapers, which is also furnished by the parent along with the
b-wipes and lotions ect.
our day care is great and my grandbaby loves school (as he calls it.) when your child is school age then you can persue what you've dreamed of. as we know our baby's come first now. we are not our own anymore and never will be again. both of mine are truely a blessing. it's amazing how a split second can change our whole world
thank God for mommie's.

Answer 2

It is always ideal to find something you enjoy, something you would even do for free even if you did not get a paycheck; it's the true test of determining if you enjoy your career choice or not.

Secondly, as a Christian you should be prosperous. God is an awesome God. God wants His children to be happy, healthy, wealthy and prosperous. God owns everything and wants His kids to own these things, too. This is because it will not only satisfy you, but , it will also be a testament to world of God's greatness. With great wealth, you will also be able to inspire the world and God's other children to aspire to greatness. God wants you to be successful, claim your prosperity.

Remember, "Ask and you shall receive........"
As a Christian do something that will testify to God's awesomeness and at the same time, something that will benefit and people and something that will also make you feel good.

Answer 3

Simply do what YOU enjoy doing!

So ask yourself, what wouldn't I mind spending about 5 - 8 hours a day doing? If you like being online you can earn a living from home, but on the Internet. Then you can be home with your kids. You can own a website or become a professional blogger. The list really goes on and on.

Just search in the right places, you can start your search at

Good Luck!

Answer 4

I would bet if people were 100% honest with you less than 5% really feel a calling to what they do for a living. You do what opportunity and education motivation allow you to do. I am a Christian and I work construction. I do not like construction anymore as it is tearing up my body and made me older than my years. I do it for the pay and benefits so I can give my family the best that I can give them now and in the future. You just gotta do what you gotta do to live a good life. As a Christian God would rather you be living at a higher standard than that of some "small paycheck" job. God wants us to excel and achieve to a higher level so as to set an example to others that God takes care off those how help themselves. Of what good are a bunch of underachievers and unmotivated people to His purpose? The Bible calls for us to tithe to help do his works. Does He want you to work and achieve and do your best to advance His works or does He want to see His children struggling to scrape by paycheck to paycheck? You know God wants us to be an example of his Goodness and being a minimum wage worker is selling Him and yourself short. Work is not supposed to be fun that's why it's called work and why fun is called fun. Do the right thing and do the very best you can and the rest takes care of itself.

Answer 5

Did you know there's actually been lots of research on the impact of separation from mom in the first three years of life? NICHD is the agency that's been overseeing international and longitudinal exploration of the impact on children of spent more than 10 hours a week apart from their mothers.

The results show separation is a disaster. In fact, one of the researchers said when the latest round of data was released, 'No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't make these results go away.'

It's been amazing to watch these psych scientists being confounded that the research on infant/toddler separation from mommy finds what the attachment work of a half century ago found - human infants need their mothers and are harmed by her absence.

I actually got a letter from Dr. Sarah Friedman in response to my inquiry about a round of research released a few years back. It showed a bad impact even if the substitute caregiver was dad, grandma, high quality day care or a neighbor. She said 'we don't know that it's separation, it could be the color of the paint at the day care center.' When I wrote back asking if daddy was painting the house every day after mommy left, she had no more to say.

Of course. Because as these working mom academicians who turned their backs on their training (and their own children) said - they tried to make the bad effects of separation go away through their research designs, and they couldn't.

Baby long for mommy. In the first year of life, if she doesn't come pretty quickly when baby starts to cry (as she cannot if baby is in substitute care) a baby concludes - mommy doesn't care, my needs must not be good, the world is a lousy place. This is a very bad start in life and the research is strong on this, even apart from day care (non-responsive at home moms produce the same bad attachment results.)

Also, when babies cry, their brains flood with a stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol suppresses learning! Plus, brain cell connections are only formed in babies when babies are held.

When babies enter care in the first year of life, their dads are less approving of them! Moms are less warm to the baby and babies less attached to the moms. Apart from this devastation to the family unit, there are bad affects for the baby's intellect, social skills, and even health. Kids in care get more than 2x as much surgery as kids not in care! and have 7x the ear infections.
