God can do better with us, than what we can plan ahead. And He can work things together, that we thought could not fit together. So, I pray for God to do what He wants; if I have an interest, I be quiet about it, in prayer, and submit for what God wants to do with me.
And I have discovered how things I hoped for even decades earlier have somehow worked out now in my life . . . but after I have been prepared in prayer with God's word and correction.
Let's say I enjoy washing dishes in a restaurant, but I'd love to be a doctor and help people. That would seem not possible, to do both.
But what could work out is I have a companion who is somewhat disabled, I do her dishes, and I use my medical background to help her in cooperation with her care givers.
So, there is how love has the two working with one another, though I am neither a restaurant dishwasher nor a doctor
I could have been a great dishwasher, but mainly showing off how fast I could work, not loving and caring about other workers. And if I had been a doctor, I would have been self-righteous about how caring I was, but not really relating with compassion with my patients . . . and my other workers.
But with one person . . . I can learn how to love, plus share with her family and friends and ones she helps. And so also I am helping and supporting her in her ministering to people around her; so I am her missionary assistant; and I used to think and wish I could be a missionary's assistant, but decide God would not do that with me
