Last night I had the opportunity to see Phil Wickham in concert and it was sensational! I was so excited all day to meet him and learn more about him. What do you think would happen if everyone felt this way about Jesus? If everyone was excited to meet him and learn more about him….how much do you think that would change the world?
God’s Word
God led me to this verse, Proverbs 16: 2-4 “All of man’s ways seem right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the motives. Commit your activities to the Lord and your plans will be achieved. The Lord has prepared everything for HIS purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster.”
What’s your God given purpose and are you sharing it with the world? I think so many of us, including myself, think we know what our purpose is but maybe it’s something bigger than we pictured for ourselves. I have been thinking that Photography was my purpose and I’ve been taking pictures for quite some time now. Every time I would think to myself “How is this glorifying God and how am I bringing people closer to him?” I couldn’t think of an answer. I kept praying that one day it would come to me because I knew Photography was what I wanted to do. It is MY passion and something I am good at. Then God opened my eyes. He gives us all many talents, but that doesn’t mean that any of those are our purpose. We have to reach out to him and ask him to reveal that to us.
One of my biggest passions has always been serving and reaching out to help people. God revealed to me that reaching out and serving others is HIS purpose for me here on this earth and that’s why he wanted me to start this blog. I think a lot of the time we get so wrapped up with what WE want to do that we stop caring about what we were put on this earth to do. Jesus said in Luke 4:43 “I must proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this PURPOSE.” God has a plan and a purpose for you being here on this earth! We all need to stop for a second and ask him what that purpose is. Some of us know what our purpose is, but we just haven’t put it into action yet. I challenge you today to start putting your purpose into action. You can help change this world if you do!
There have been so many wonderful ladies that have said they wanted to be a part of this blog and post things to help other women. I thank you for that. Just make sure that you pray and ask God if this is what HE wants you to do or if there is something bigger that he has in mind for you! J
Ask yourself these questions today:
-Do I know what my purpose is?
-How can I use my gifts to glorify God and bring people closer to him?
-Am I using my God given gifs to glorify God?
God challenges you today to reach out to him. Spend some time with him today and let him be your focus for just a moment. Even if you just go for a walk at the park and talk to him for a little while. :)
***Updates***
We know that a lot of you ladies want to be a part of this blog and want to help in any way you can and we think that’s WONDERFUL! We are still praying for God’s plan to be brought to our full attention, but we would like to have a meeting to bring all of our ideas together. This will also be a great opportunity to meet other women who are following this blog, network and make new friends! J We haven’t set a date in stone for this yet, but once we do we will announce it! Please know that if you’ve reached out to me about helping with this that I’m just waiting on God to answer. I want to make sure that this blog is always about what God wants and not ever about what I want. Thanks for your understanding! J
Stay encouraged, inspired and motived today and help someone else do the same! J
Thanks for your prayers, love and support! We love you ladies!!
