Isaiah 28 [link]
I'm not entirely sure that this idea is Biblical; however, I will admit that there's nothing explicitly against the idea of it being right or wrong. Read v. 23-26.
One single thing is not the only thing. We may major in something, but it's not the only thing we're supposed to do. As a body, we have tasks, and we need to fulfill them. We're not supposed to simply say, "No idea!"
So what about the farmers mentioned? What are they to do? They're supposed to do quite a few things. How do they know? "Their God is their teacher." Interesting. So what they know how to do has been shown to them by their God.
Even after the planting and the harvesting, we see that the gathering and prep are also known. It's very interesting to me. So many I know say, "That's just not what I'm called to do." We make it up and go along. We hide behind our "one trick."
Instead, we should be asking God what to do next. We should be letting Him show us what to do. We should still be learning from God. That should never end.
God knows it all. He's in charge -- He thought all this up. He knows it inside and out. So why don't we run to Him more often for advice and help? Interesting question, indeed.
Heavenly Father, thank You for everything. Help us to learn from You. Help us to sit at Your feet and learn. To shut up and listen to You. Help us to direct our focus and energy upon You. Help us to glorify You in all we do. Help us to not try to get through life with "one trick." So please, Abba, help me to get it all figured out. Help us all. Let me learn from You, Daddy. Let me not attempt to stay a "one trick pony," but learn how to discern and move on that which You give us to go with, Abba. We love You, praise You, and thank You for being so amazing, God.
Amen.

Life's interesting, I suppose.
Had another night of "man, should have eaten a bit more before leaving work". I drove home low again. So now we're going to make sure I have at least a snack at break at work -- to ensure maximum "no more of these" achieved. 
Otherwise, life's okay. No post last night because of the late-ness of things.
Amy's making croissants right now.
I'm a bit sleepy right now, but I'm not too bad.
If you're bored and want to watch some random YouTube videos, here are some links:
1.) Muppet Beaker sings "Ode to Joy"
2.) Domino's Pizza "Techno Chicken" Commercial
Isn't it amazing what we can find on the internet?
I may need to help move pianos soon. I may also be working a bit at Time Horton's, but we'll see.
Honestly, though, that's about it for me right now. God bless, all!
