This entry isn't going to be cookie cutter cute. Just real and honest. Short too, by the way since I need to run errands before it gets too hot to be outside. Purpose Driven. Ever heard of it? I have in a Sunday School setting.
It seems that God has a purpose for everyone. Jeremiah 29:11 states , "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I've heard that verse so many times and wondered what God's purpose is for my life. I have pondered it countless times. I've thought about missionary work but my health is a deterrent in that area. At least overseas missionary work. Also, I find I don't know the Bible as well as I should and I attend Bible studies to expose myself to the Living Word.
I feel like I'm a ship caught at sea being tossed by the waves aimlessly without any shore in sight or destination. It's a terrible feeling to be consumed by day in and day out. The feeling that I've got no direction in life. So, what have I been doing?
I've been waiting on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 reads, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." I'm being patient and hopeful in God's perfect timing for my purpose driven life. Everyday I seek His will for my time here on earth. I want to honor and glorify Him. How this will be done is in the Hands of my Creator.
