May God bless you with discomfort…
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger…
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears…
To shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection,starvation and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
And turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness…
To believe that you can make a difference in this world.
So that you can do
What others claim cannot be done.
Amen

What's with this "Franciscan Benediction?" For some reason it doesn't sound like it should be a "christian" prayer!!
I have re-read you're comments and it seems to me that you are very unsure of yourself. Why don't you tell us about your job? Also, please read what Paul said in Philippians 3:13-14, "FORGETTING WHAT LIES IN THE PAST..."
God has called you, He HAS forgiven you, enjoy what you have and step out on faith and set a goal as to what you want to do, ie; "I want to be a --------- (christian counsellor?). Now how do I get there? You are a strong christian, that is appearant, now step out on faith and let your light shine so that others may see your good works and want to follow Christ also.I will continue to monitor your blog so if you have any comments for me, please add them to your commentary.
IHS, Piute
