I left my corporate job last year without a backup plan, which my parents thought was insane. I'm trying to build something creative, something that matters to me, but the months are slow and money is tight. My mom keeps asking when I'm going to get a 'real job' again.
But Paul's saying that God began a good work in me, and God will finish it. That's not about me figuring out the whole plan or securing my future. That's about God actually being committed to what God started. I don't have to earn that commitment through success.
Some days the work is moving forward, some days I'm working retail to pay bills, some days I'm scared. But underneath all of it is this really basic confidence that I didn't invent my calling and I won't have to finish it alone. God's the one seeing this through, not me. That's made me braver and steadier than I've ever been.
