The thing prayed for became a praise report that’s now back 2 a prayer request. God help me! Grateful for the shift but don’t yet feel I’m walking in my calling. How 2 remain steadfast in the journey?

My biggest perspective change came with the realization that as Christians we are ALL called to ministry. I used to subscribe to the idea that that meant becoming a pastor or missionary. However ministry doesn't only happen in church. We are all called to be channels of God's blessing, wherever and whatever we are doing. This means that the agency I work at is my mission field. God placed me there to be a Christian. Serving my coworkers by being the best employee I can be. Treating them with grace and a heart of service and as a reflection of God's glory. If where you are right now is a struggle, and seemingly beyond yourself, then one way to look at it is as a blessing. Things beyond ourselves means that they are God sized tasks. Meaning God has taken interest in your life enough to have you participate in a plan that is God sized. Try to see your work as your place of ministry. Coworkers, bosses, and clients are all in need of Christ as much as we who are believers need him daily. God has entrusted us to be a channel of his blessing to those people. He wants to partner with us to expand His kingdom. Thus when we are stewards of our work, then we serve the people we work with, and that to God is a daily form of worship outside of our weekend time with God. I know this was kind of a ramble but I hope that it brings you hope in God's goodness and love for you and the people you work with.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams. Anyway, I am looking for something that can be done remotely on nights and weekends after I get home from my daily in-office job. My sister passed away & I’m now helping raise her kids. With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

I have been using this emoji 🙏 and saying to so many colleagues and clients “I’ll pray for you” with such warm and genuine receipt that I think sometimes God uses hopelessness to open people’s hearts to Him. I’ve spoken about my faith to work people more than I ever have in my 20 year career. In such a dark time, what a light prayer can be for our coworkers and clients.

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.
