A wake up call

God gave me a reminder today. He's good at that. He reminded me that I won't be satisfied until I'm doing what He has called me to do. It sounds so simple, but somehow I seem to make it so hard. Let me give you a little background.

I've been seeking after my "calling" for awhile now. To be honest, the effort has been really an off and on process. However, a few months ago, I started to make some progress. I really felt that God was calling me to be a writer. To be more specific, a screenwriter. I shared this thought with my wife who was and continues to be supportive, and also a few close friends. I got some books on the topic and started my research. You see, that's what I do. When I want to know something, I do research. It's kind of my thing. People will ask me questions even if they know I don't have the answer because they know I'll find out.

Getting back to my point. I was really frustrated today and begin questioning God. (I've done this to Him several times over the course of this past year.) "Why can't I be happy?" "Why am I so restless?" "Where are you in this situation?". The answer is simple. I haven't been obedient to His call. He has called me to be a writer and guess what, writers write. That's what I keep hearing from Him. "Writers write, Craig. You should be writing." So here I am, writing. Pouring out my frustrations and revelations as I type. I will continue to do so as long as it takes. It's time that I stopped complaining and started doing.
