My Idol – Nancy Drew

Faith word

My dream job?
Private Eye.

My detective agency would be called, “It’s Sweeter When They Sweat.”

I see myself as a modern-day Nancy Drew. {And that’s pretty silly all by itself. Because I would never consider myself a modern girl in any stretch of the imagination!}

But back to my dream career…

I’d be a walking fashion statement for female P.I’s.
High heels.
…Make that stiletto heels.
Jeans.
…Make that skinny jeans.
Short-sleeved v-neck t-shirt.
…Make that a form-fitting v-neck t-shirt.
With a leather jacket.
…Make that a waist-length leather jacket that can actually zip up.

I’d carry the flashlight between my teeth and run after the people doing bad things and never get out of breath.

Yup. In my dreams.

In my reality…
I can’t imagine breaking and entering.
Or being on a stake-out at night, alone.
Or talking back to someone threatening me who is a whole lot bigger than me.

So this whole Nancy Drew / detective agency idea isn’t probably going to take off very fast.

But I am discovering that my investigative juices are finding their outlet…

In my faith journey.

I want to know more about this God who is so big and loving and caring and almighty.
I want to dig deeper. Ask bigger questions. Study. Talk to people.
Listen for clues about what it means to really walk with God.

I want to be bold.
To go places in my studying that I’ve never gone before.
To get so caught up in the clues that time flashes by.

I am hungry to discover the promises. The gifts. The instruction. The guideposts.

And yeah, I think I know that as I study and discover more truth, I will be the one sweating.
Because I will allow myself to see what’s wrong in my heart and my soul and what needs to change.
I will be caught.
And that is such a good thing.

Knowing what needs to change in my life…how to make that change…turning from what saddens God’s heart to what brings Him honor and praise…and then ending up in a deeper relationship with Jesus…

Yes.

It will be sweeter when I sweat.
