Does God have a pan for my life?

Many people want to know if God has a specific pan for their lives. It's good to consider your options.

If you really like cars, working on cars, and spending too much money working on cars, God may be calling you to oil pans. A good technical school will teach you how to be an engine mechanic.

If you like the outdoors, nature, and a lot of back-breaking work for little reward, you may consider a gold pan to try to find flecks of gold in shallow streams.

If you like movies, plays, or books, you might be called to be an art critic—just remember to be honest about your review and not pan everything you see and read.

If you love mountains, fields, and sheep, look into the Greek god Pan for inspiration; you may want to be a shepherd.

If you appreciate wide shots in movies, film school can teach you how to pan the horizon with a camera.

Finally, if you like food, hectic environments, and working for businesses always on the cusp of bankruptcy, culinary school will teach you how to use everything from a saucepan to a frying pan.

It's very possible God doesn't have a specific pan for your life. If His will isn't clear, it may be that He wants you to choose. Whatever you do, you should remember to honor Him, love others, and spread the Gospel. That's God's plan for all of us.
