I WANT TO DO MEANINGFUL WORK… I THINK

I didn’t expect to be paid by the church for my time, and perhaps, in return, there was an unspoken agreement that the church would not have expectations of me. I would go on contributing as my schedule allowed, popping in to surprise the church staff with some extra hands when inspired.
I think I want to do meaningful work. “Kingdom work” that worships God, advances the gospel, loves the church, and ministers to others is eternally meaningful. But am I too afraid of failure to actually give it my all?

HOW I GOT HERE

Last year around this time, I was finishing up my third year of medical school. I was in a small town in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by endless fields of long grasses and open skies in every direction. My future felt just as empty and wide, yet to be filled in.
