Pastries and broken dreams

Well as you all know I work in the restaurant business, i was a pastry cook but due to a stubborn arm i have had to step down. I am moving to a coffee shop at work selling the pastries, not making them. Its a real bummer for me I have always thought i had a passion for this field of work ever since i can remember. However it seems almost now as i look at it, was this my dream or was this my way of pleasing my dad? I almost feel like I'm sticking it out to please him, now i am becoming more aware of these feelings and its like god is speaking to me about something, i just can figure out what...

The question here is, is this gods way of telling me to change my career? In todays economy, which we all is pretty crummy, the restaurant business seems to be heading down the drain. It seems as if there are no hours to be found, so you spend the day dragging out the most non time consuming tasks to make that extra hour on your check. Why should i be miserable to make my dad happy, this is after all my life. I have spent the last few days pondering on what to do next, should i go back to school? Find another job? What? I'm praying that god will eventually lead me in the right direction.

God Bless,
Kim

Nice post. It took me many years to figure out my purpose. What would you do if you could do anything? If you had a "free" day what would you do? What keeps you up at night? What could you talk about for hours on end? Start there and see what God has in store.
