Orphans

God reminded me today why He placed me in Social Work. Its not about me, its about the kids, the orphans and the foster care kids.
Sometime I get discouraged with the Social Work program and just think, why don’t I just quit and have babies? These people don’t know THE TRUTH. Many of them openly denounce God and try to get us Social Work students to advocate things He detests. I often find myself frustrated and feeling like this schooling I’m going through is futile because they can teach me all the therapy in the world but none of it will work without the healing power of Jesus Christ!
Sometimes I wonder, did God choose this for me or did I?

But today, God reminded me why He chose this for me. He reminded me of the fire He put in my heart for the abandoned, the neglected, and the abused, the orphaned children of the world and right here in this state. There are so many different avenues for Social Workers to pursue and I see that Satan has used that to distract me from the main focus that Christ used to lead me to Social Work in the first place, the orphans.

Sometimes we just need reminders, and in so doing, God has also given me encouragement; especially on the day of my internship interview. I wonder why God has reminded me of this- on this day. The day of the interview I have been praying about, wondering and kind of resenting for the last week.
Jesus, please give me more of Your discernment today!
