God doesn't always call us to be happy in what he calls us to do.

    It's no secret that I love music and that I feel that is what God has called me to do. I realize that it will be on His terms and his time. I may never play in front of a single person again, but I will always continue to play for God!
    If you follow me on FaceBook you know that I am not happy with my job. Those of you that don't know, I am a security officer at a hospital. I have been doing some type of security work for the last ten years. I let it take me to a place in my life where I became a bad person. When I left my last job at Wal-mart, I was glad to get out of security. After a few weeks of unemployment I was cutting grass one day and I prayed for God to get me a job. That after noon I got a Job where I currently work and back in security. The job is very stressful to me. I don't want to go back to being the man I was back at Wal-mart and to be honest, most of the time, the job is BORING!
    Lately I have been really stressed out and begging God to let me move on. (and yes really hoping it would be in a worship position) But I know that this is where God wants me to be right now. I constantly struggle with my old self. I recently had a patient try to strike me and I had to do my job to protect my self and the others I work with and I did it with authority. I hated it! I do not like that side of me any more.
    A couple of days later I was working in an area with the same type of patients and really feeling the stress and begging God for relief. God spoke to me and told me to turn to Jonah. I read all four chapters and discovered something, Jonah wasn't happy in the whale OR even when he did as God had told him to do. I have never found out what happened to Jonah after God teaches him a lesson with a fast growing and dieting bush but I did realize one thing. God called Jonah to be obedient. He never promised that Jonah would like what he had to do.
