What was meant to be

Current mood:anxious

I sit here in my office day after day thinking to myself as I stare out the window...
I know that there is much more to my life than this. Jah has placed much more responsibility on me than this. I know that I am one of the chosen ones.
As I travel from city to city...country to country...all in the line of duty...I learn many things and meet many people. I thank Jah for that chance because it is all I ever wanted in my days in the university.
Still I think there is much more to my life than this. I was meant to build His nation. He has given me desires to help the suffering and feed my brethren.
I was not meant to be in this office. I want to teach children to read in the Congo, build adequate housing in the ghettos of Soweto, uplift the people of Jamaica, prevent AIDS in South Africa, protest against female genital mutilation in the Middle East...
I want to fight racism, sexism and end exploitation of little ones.
I want to empower little girls and teach them that they too can have it all.
This can't be my role in life. Can't be my final destination as a global war mistress. I have a message to give and an even bigger message to receive.
I know who I am and what was meant to be.
