purpose.

(originally written & published July 25, 2016)

What the heck am I suppose to be doing?

Why am I here?

What is my ... purpose?

I've never known what I've wanted, never known what to do with my life, and never really cared enough to think more about it. I had been walking on this earth for years with no purpose in my heart. Numb and missing a calling on my life. I was just smiling and surviving, not LIVING and LOVING.

When I made the ridiculous decision to go to Africa, something in my heart started to stir. Jesus lit me up, literally. I've never felt more alive than when I'm walking with Him. They say that when He comes in, wrecks your entire life, then shows you how to live and breathe again, you'll never be the same. You'll never want to go back to what you once were, how you felt, how you lived. Thank you Jesus for breathing new life into these dead bones.

I'm awake.

I'm alive.

I have purpose.

God is always with us. He has a plan and a path for us no matter how clumsy we are. He lead me to the path. I stumbled upon my purpose. Lord, help me to walk in Your will for my life.

THIS IS MY PURPOSE. This is what I've been called to do. How do I know? How can you tell? I've never felt more absolute meaning doing what The Lord told me to do than anything else. & hopefully, by the way we live and love differently there will be change. Lord, help me. Help us. Let's change our lives and start chasing our Creator the way we were purposed to.

What are you doing?

Why are you here?

What's your purpose?

“The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.”

Psalms 138:8
