Why do you Work?

In the last few months, I've been expending my work portfolio..
but neglected my online resume...

The question that begs to be answered is why do you work?

If its simply to honour God and earn peanuts, we should all just take the "noble, job fulfilling ones..or become monkeys"

But what if it seems God is laying another challenge?
Becoz right now, for me, I don't know if that is what God's laying before my eyes.

Looking back, I've been asking God about the career path that I should be taking to honour God. So, every since the day I rejected to further my academics immediately, due to a very personal reason(its not $)..I've been plagued with this question.
What's next...where to work next..and quite frankly, its not going to be hard to get a job that pays more than $420++ that my national enlistment entitles me to...but then again, my medical bills should off-set everything.

so its another time for reality check.

What's a decent manner to evulate a job offer?

1. Career prospects?
2. Pay?
3. Work environment?
4. Passion?
5. Job security?
and for everyone, these answers would vary isn't it?

For me? I thank all 5 are very important..But which should be top piority? Gosh..I don't know. Being a "free" markeing/branding consultant has allowed me to evulate all these in greater detail.. And like my first job, I seem to discover that I can do most job, but I need to find out what is the job that I won't do..
Here's my evluation
I love a great challenge. Thus for a marketer, to be given a challenge to build a brand, to pit your wits, guts and instincts seems too wonderful a chance to pass up..But then again, would my overall lack of experience hurt the business? But that also means I'm not restricted by 'regulations'..

Pay? Dollars do make sense however much we want to play it down.. The Lord says the son of man has no roof over his head; but he also promises that if the Lord our God has provided for the birds and vegetation, wouldn't he provide for those he loves dearly?...I honestly, do suffer badly in financial matters. Am I a spendthrift? I don't know.. Yes, I do admit that I treasure qualtiy products, but I never believe in spending for myself..Maybe I spent too much on others. God have given me the opportunity to hand over my last $10 for funeral donations, and I didn't die when there was no money.Then again, I've been blessed by others finanically too.. So in a sense, I don't think the love of money is a stronghold, but I do feel a horrid sense, when I'm aware of how well people can source for income, and spend on so many other wants, while I struggle to save the other $ so that I can have enough for that gift.. I'm honestly tired of feeling poor! I pray its not jealousy, but really, sometimes I wonder why my earning ability never seems to be decent compared to others..Saving money alone is dumb!! The worst irony was when, I finally saved enough for a decent ring, the pre-martial counselling course, I felt a little sense of worth, all these turned to be usless in my new life. Now, I need to get income to pay for insurance. Reality check.

Work surroundings is such an unstable circumstance issue.. Its like emotions, undepenable but wields so much influence in our lives...maybe its just like can you bear with it? so people will never work with their friends for fear that disagreements in work will affect relationships; some people are just such great social creatures, they make friends where-ever they work ..

Passion & job security... seems like an impossible ideaology in these modern times. And unless with great foresight, a single event would change these into nought. But is it meaningless?

should I be an employee or join a partnership and venture into the great challenge?

I don't know. I only know that the Lord will bless me either way, but which choice would it be most pleasing to him; which choice would fulfill his promise. Both?
or neither......
