making a difference...

I want to make a difference. There is this desire in me to help people. To help them work through problems, to listen to them, to encourage them, to share in their pain. I've had this desire for a long time. When I went to college I started out in psychology so that I could be a counselor and help people. I ended up in data quality, where I find problems in the data and make it better. I fix things, I solve the puzzle as to why and how the data is being corrupted. Don't get me wrong this can be fun and satifying, but I want to be working with people not numbers.

I have multiple ideas for working with people but none of them seem realistic or doable.

At the end of the day when I look at the big picture I want to know that what I did made a difference...

in someone's life and in God's kingdom.
