We have to look at this as a mission field. I often think about Paul working as a tent-maker while ministering and planting churches as to not be a burden. Good words.

I met my former boss for coffee on Saturday and we discussed this issue. I suggested that find something that he enjoyed or a hobby and think about a blog. I explained that when you create a vehicle to talk about something you are passionate about, chances are you will put more effort into the creation than if you had to write about taking out the trash. This way, when you really have to or need to create a blog for career pursuits, you already know what it takes because you've done it. He told me that I gave him a lot to process and that he was intrigued. That is a lot of feedback from this guy! I talked to my Mom on the way home and we had the duplicate conversation. I asked about her interests and she told me that she always wanted to write! What?! I didn't know that! I told her that I like to write, too.We are going to start a blog to swap stories. I told her that once she started, she would be hooked. Good topic. Funny you should mention this topic. I met my former boss for coffee on Saturday and we discussed this issue.

I often find myself being more worried about the benefits to me, I am human hey (terrible excuse I know). So it is good to keep reminding yourself to remain focused and pray for the opportunity where you can invest in someone's life to the point where they might come to Church and find Christ. It is very far fetched, I know, to think that what you write may affect a life like that in another country because of what you write, but God can use anything - and the more you Glorify Him the more He can use you. Well, I need to remind myself more often about that.
