Why?

I believe that God chooses people to do specific things in this word. Some people entertain, some people create beauty, while others concentrate on making a wonderful family. Then there are those that are called to make a difference in the world, to sacrifice their own desires so that they can help others. I feel that I've been called to do this and there are sometimes when I'm happy about it and other times when I'm a bit angry. Why God did you choose me for this? Why can't I be an Anthropologist or Writer and spend my days studying and writing. Now, don't get me wrong Anthropologists and writers help the world in their own way. But they don't get down and dirty in the mess that are people are in. They don't deal with the death and violence and despair that a police officer, or social worker or even a teacher has to face daily. I've been called to the field of social work, and it frightens me. I don't understand why God has chosen me for this. But I'll accept the duty because I know that there are people out there that need my help and that because my life would not be fulfilling if I went a different direction.
