Life.

Ahhh... life. I've been thinking about life today, and doing some reading. I came across this blog where this girl said she googled: "what am I supposed to do with my life?" Well.. she came across a site that said they would tell here in just 20 minutes what her purpose in life is.

So, she started to do what it told her..long story short, it told her to grab a pen and paper or open up Microsoft Word or something of the like. Then it said to write at the top: "What is my true purpose in life?" Now, write down any answer that comes to your mind. "Keep writing until you write the answer that makes you cry" was the last step.

So, I decided to do it. I've got some pretty good ideas of what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, but why not try this out. I guess I oftentimes wonder if I'm doing the right things, and heading in the right direction.

So, I opened up word. Titled the page, and began to type...

I liked most of what I wrote. Some of the things were things I would absolutely love to do...like.. sing, write, be a rockstar. you know..dreams that can seem totally unreal, but as they say, "hey! a girl can dream, right?" Anyhow, my list began to get more serious (not on purpose). I started writing things like:

To be all the God has called me to be

To get people saved and follow Christ

To travel the world telling people about God – whether it be through song, music or writing lyrics or books or speech

To love everyone how God does, be an example and change the world

To fulfill everything God has in store for me

To be a wife and mother

To be the best sister and daughter I can be

To be an example to everyone

To help young girls

To love God so much that when people see me they see Christ in me ---that was one of my favorites. Combine that with a couple others and you have:

To love everyone how God does, be an example and change the world. To love God so much that when people see me they see Christ in me. To help and serve others.

So, it doesn't matter if I have huge dreams that seem unreachable. What matters is, I want to fulfill all the things God wants me to do. And hey, if he wants me to write songs for other people and stories that will go across the world and change people's lives, show God's love and bring people to know Christ, then so be it. I'd be delighted to...

God has a plan and purpose for your life. --read that slowly 3 more times. -- I know you may have heard that a million times. But have you really thought about it? Try writing down what you think your purpose in life is.

Read it over. See what you really want. It puts things into perspective.

That's all for now :) Send any stories, questions or comments to colorme31@gmail.com. :)
