I’m not quite sure how to start this blog. I’ve learned and grown so much over the past month, that it’s difficult to take it all in, much less condense it into an easily understandable blog. Here goes. I hope this makes sense, and maybe gives you a small bit of what I’ve felt this past month.
There are two things most people want to know in life. Two questions that everyone asks themselves at one point or another:
Who am I?
What is the purpose of this life?
Those are big questions, right? You may be thinking “It’s kind of pretentious of her to say that she’s figured out the meaning of life.” Or not. Regardless, people devote their entire lives to figuring these two things out. For me, at least, I’ve figured out the answer.
Who am I?
I am a daughter of God. I am a co-heir with Christ. I am modeled after my Father God, and I desire what He desires.
What is the purpose?
To follow God. Go where He says go, when He says to go there. Say what He wants said.
It’s just that simple. We were created by God, for God. So we live our lives with the most fullness when He saturates every moment we are breathing.
I had a vision the morning the Awakening started. I was in the ocean, no land in sight, and I was treading water. But I was getting tired; the current was pulling me, and my baggage was weighing me down. All of a sudden, I heard God speak. “Be still, beloved.”
I was able to pray this prayer for the first time, in all truth, with no reservations:
God, I want what You want. I desire only what You desire.
I live only to follow Your will, whatever that may be.
And I know that sometimes I’ll get angry, or unhappy, or frustrated and tired.
But I know that You will provide me with strength, peace, and joy.
