Let's look at Moses' life for a better understanding of how to turn your passion into a dream job. Moses was passionate about God's calling. He led the people of Israel out of Egypt. He made himself continually available to the people (over 3 million including women and children). Moses' passion was eating him alive.
Moses sat before the people and they would bring to him every disagreement, fight, argument, whatever. Lines of miserable people stood before him. His father-in-law, Jethro (not Bodine), had a better eye for how Moses could honor God and still serve the people. He told Moses:
Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you. If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace." Ex 18:19-23 (NKJV)
"If you listen to my advice, Moses, then you will endure," Jethro says. I have had a lot of different jobs in my short life, most of them when I was younger. It took some time to discover my calling in life. I wish I would have had a better understanding of how to turn my passion into a dream job. For you, I will give you some advice and a website to look at.
