Having a Purpose

We all have a passion, a calling, a purpose in our lives. Some of us choose to pursue it and some of us don't. For the past few months I was confused and my vision was blurred for a season. I was too concentrated on my own self and my own desires that took the focus off of what I was called to do. I became lazy and apathetic in all that I did, I definitely wasn't living EXCELLENCE IN ALL I DO! During the past 21 days of fasting and prayer, I was encouraged to set aside all that I desire and truly seek God for my purpose in life. The first week I didn't, I was being lazy as I said earlier, didn't really care. Then the second week I started to pray a little bit for direction but still not full heartily just kinda doing it because I felt that I had to. The third week which we're still in it, God spoke through TJ to get my attention which kept me up the other night. TJ stated that I did well with children's ministry. I was like yes, I do well and enjoy it when I'm there but I'm tired of it in a sense. But God revealed the other night that it was my flesh in the way telling me that I am burnt out and lazy. I chose to not allow the enemy to have a hold of my life like he had. Now knowing and being completely confident in my calling to be in children's ministry has now taken me to the next step in the process of getting there. I have set up an appointment with our children's pastor to share my heart and hear his insight of more responsibility, more involvement, the prepping for a weekend service, you name it. I am now ready to quit being comfortable and take a risk in learning how be a children's pastor. An extra plus is I'm learning under one of the greatest children's pastors ever!

Chase after your purpose and calling in life! Be passionate and excited about it! Get out there and make a difference for His Kingdom!!!! God will never leave us nor forsake us.
