Nine years ago I auditioned for the supporting role in my high school's fall play. I didn't get the part. Instead I was given the small comic relief role. I cried for about a day and then moved on. I ended up loving my given role and quickly forgot about my past heartache.
What is my given role right now in life and am I am content with it? Am I enjoying my given role? Presently, I have been given the role of being a teacher and single. For many years I longed to become a teacher and now I am finally one. Do I always enjoy it? No. I am always faithful to my role? No, I find myself constantly complaining about it. But I wanted to be a teacher. Do I like being single? I feel like I have been crying for over ten years about getting the role of being single. In her book, A Woman's Guide to Finding Contentment: Calm My Anxious Heart, Linda Dillow talks about how each role in our life is a gift from God. Any role will have its ups and downs. I guarantee you that my friends who are married or have kids too have rough days. On the opposite side, each role is its own adventure! My new goal is to learn how to be faithful to the role God has given me. Not sure how this will work and I know hard days will still come. You never know what you will encounter on an adventure ;)
