Introduction
Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 7:17, “In every church I tell the people to stay as they were when the Lord Jesus chose them and God called them to be his own.” This was a verse that I as well as others I am sure, looked past when thinking or talking about what “calling” means. Paul also states in verse 7, “I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God”. These two simple and straightforward statements are all we need to know and understand about what we should do when we are “called”. Calling did mean to me being called to the ministry however I now know and believe that that is not the case. I have been given special gifts and it is now my sole purpose to use them to spread and magnify the good news of Jesus Christ. I am not to waste, refuse, squander or belittle my talents but should be focused on maximizing them.
Signature Themes and Career Exploration
This study was nothing short of an awakening for me at age fifty-two. It has provided me with a much needed deep-dive into who I am, what I do and more important why it happened. The saying that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” has been proven false in my case as I am an “old dog” in my mind at least and this study showed me why I am, who I am and why I have been successful in my career, this all in spite of not having a clue about the real “why”. I always thought that I just happened to be at the right place at the right time and that I was either lucky and/or God was pouring out His blessings on me. I was on a cruise once just out of college and won a drawing to get to have my fortune read. Although I did not believe in what she was going to tell me, she looked at me sternly when she saw I was not taking it...

...le me to distinguish between what I, may want to do and what I, hear God advising me on what I should do…very cool. I will also continue in my study of personal growth and have already shared StrengthsQuest with my wife. She took the assessment yesterday as she is considering a career change and we are now going to review the results and have a great foundation to work off of. Suffice to say, I am going to recommend all my team take the assessment as it will be beneficial not only to me in better understanding them but I will also use it as a means of hopefully helping them and their families. In closing, I will say that people need to build their careers and family’s on a solid foundation. Christ tells us to build our house on the rock and I now know that by continuing to build mine on the Rock of my life, Christ, He will use my Strengths for nothing but good.
