i’ve been stumbling upon these kinda quotes a lot lately…
“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.” ~ Johann von Goethe
…and i know why. God is being very gracious to me. i truly believe He keeps sending me little reminders through His words, and through others, to not give up.
He wants me to keep dreaming, believing, writing, trusting, faith-walking. i know there is a lot left for me to do and much expected from me.
this time last year…that scared me. now, i embrace it. it feels good knowing i am being trusted to play a small part in this world. i do not know what will become of it, all i know is i’m responsible to live it out.
its my purpose. it’s my joy.
i’m seeing the joy in my purpose.
what’s your purpose?
You "stumble" on the best quotes Tam.
Honestly, while some of my purpose is clear, it's not what I was clear about a year ago, for instance. I think I'm OK with that most of the time…but sometimes it's just tiring.
Never so tiring that I forget where my joy lies thankfully. And have I mentioned these on purpose posts are exciting? 'Cos they are.
I'm trying to walk through my pain right now. My pain overwhelms me and I can't see my purpose right now. It's in there somewhere, but it's masked behind the emotional trauma.
Walking every day.
Slowly.
I have no idea what my purpose is…and it kills me daily.
I'm with Jason. So many things I love… so many things spoken over me… but nothing that I know that I know that I know is God's call on my life. Lots of possibilities. An ocean of them, and I'm thinking it's going to take me wading out into it to find the one that sticks.
I don't know my exact purpose, but I can't say that bothers me. I just focus on keeping my eyes and heart open so that, when He puts something in front of me, I don't miss it. I think if I try to define my purpose I'm going to get so focused that I miss what HE wants me to do rather than what I THINK I should do.
Don't know if that makes sense, but there it is.
Hi Tam
I think at this stage my purpose is to keep myself open for God's leading while at the same time moving forward with in the direction I feel He is leading me. It's a fine line becasue I believe God calls us to action, not to simply sit and wait for Him and do nothing with my life in the process – so I move forward and trust that as I stay close to God He will guide my path. As part of this I'm taking a huge step of faith and am about to launch a business coaching and helping people create margin in their lives/work/ministires to be able to do what they really want to do, to focus on the important and make progress in their lives. It's available to anyone becasue I think we all need a little support, guidance and accountability in our lives… anyway enough about that
