Grown up job???

So, my senior VP at work recently asked me "Well, Susan, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I'm sure my stunned silence was very reassuring to her, but my response (or lack thereof) was more of a result from a huge unexpected announcement she had made about 30 seconds prior to that. 
After going through a wave of emotions and thoughts at her surprise announcement and question I realize that what I want to be when I grow up is known for someone who made a difference. I want to be get up every morning and say "Use me Lord for Your glory." And sometimes that comes in the form of just being used. Or at least it does to me these days. Waiting is never easy. Especially when something on the other side of that waiting expects to bring comfort. But I'm called to find my peace and my comfort in the Lord - to calm my crazy moments and to know that no matter where I go or what I do I'm riding in the palm of His hand. 
Lord, please put the sparkle in my eye, the smile on my face and let people see Jesus in me. There is no greater honor, no greater privilege, no greater peace and no greater moment than to be used for His glory.
So as far as what I want to be when I grow up... used. I just want to be used... for His glory.

that sounds like the perfect response. After all... aren't we already all grown up?

Love you!
