I just got back from a great week long conference (NAPO) and reignited a friendship with many people I have known for the past four years. One of the themes was about CARING. Whether it is for the elderly, movers, seniors, or any other social group, a Professional Organizer has a career in caring and helping people improve their lives.
For me, I have lived a life as a Rescuer. I love to help anywhere I can so others can either solve a problem, head in a different direction, step up to the next level, or to pull someone up from the mud they are currently sinking in.
I have been criticized many times for having the heart of a rescuer as there are times I am taken advantage of for someone elses gain. It hurts emotionally when I know that I have been used, but my passion for caring and helping drives me to a song that was written in 1869 but is just as important today. Fanny J Crosby was a small lady of about 4 foot 9 inches tall and was blind from a very young age of six months old - a real perceived disadvantage for most of us. Yet her blindness never stopped her from accomplishing so much. One such song in which she wrote the words is ideal for us rescuers today.
Click on the link as you can see is the calling of each Christ Follower and Rescuer today.
Be proud if you are a rescuer because it is a part of the passion that the Lord has placed on your heart to be there when things fall apart. You can not "FIX" everything and should not but caring about the issues makes you stronger and presents the love of Christ in every action. The wisdom of discernment will give you the opportunity of being a blessing to someone instead of just being a doormat for those who want to use you.
