work: why do i do the thing i do?

work has been on my mind a lot lately, maybe b/c there's been a lot of changes regarding it over the past month or so. my project at ms ended and i had some bench time... time where i wasn't on a project, but was kind of "on call" until i was assigned a new one. i realize many of my friends and family don't really understand my line of work b/c it's constantly changing, there's always uncertainty, there's sometimes a lot of flexibility and well it's just hard to comprehend. but i was reminded a few weeks ago when i was talking to a friend about how and why i ended up in the job i'm in.

when i finished college, i was a young believer and i was blessed to have multiple job offers due to the booming economy. one offer was at the company i did my internship during my last year of college, another was at a large and stable company and i also had a couple of offers from 2 of the big "five" consulting companies. i remember talking through my options with many of my family and friends, but my final decision came down to which job would lead me to grow more in my faith, and that made my choice easy! b/c to me that would be the job that would make me have to depend on Him more often and more fully, and that's how i entered the consulting world.
