Purpose In The Waiting
Sometimes He places us in waiting periods for a divine purpose, and these waiting periods and closed doors are absolutely, completely necessary — whether it’s just an issue of timing or even protection from something we wanted that isn’t actually good for us or something else. He’s shown me that in the waiting and behind the scenes, He is at work accomplishing His purposes. I need to believe when He prevents things from happening in my life it’s for my good because He loves me and is saving me for something better.
Nothing By Chance
Who you are is not an accident. Who you are by birth, experience, upbringing, training etc. is not an accident.
A few months ago, I heard David Guzik teach on purpose, and he spoke words similar to those.
These words are HUGE in relation to purpose. Who you are – YOU – does not just have this very general purpose that is insignificant. You are not insignificant. The details about you are not coincidental. YOU and the things about you are, in fact, very intentional.
You and those things were creatively created and exist for a reason.
Perfection: A Purpose Preventer
I struggle with imperfect. Perfection is something I’ve ALWAYS tried to attain. And I can’t do it. I overthink about what is wrong with my heart that I can’t perfectlymove forward. And then I panic because I know that not being able to MOVE FORWARD inhibits on my ability to continuing pursuing God’s purposes for me. But God doesn’t’ call me to be perfect or to perfectlymove forward but to move forward in grace, which I DAILY need.
God Wants Us To Have Joy
When life is good, when life is hard, when doubts and negative, anxious thoughts and condemnation come flooding through, we can have joy because despite our circumstances and despite our minds and our hearts, the TRUTH and REALITY and FACTS of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE DOES can bring us joy.
Stepping Out Into Purpose
The more you STEP OUT in faith, the more you get to go see the Lord work in ways you wouldn’t have before.
We see Peter and the apostles healing people and moving in boldness through the Spirit.
They allowed faith to shape them and they moved in it — holding. nothing. back.
THAT is when they saw incredible things take place and even saw their own lives being used to make those things happen.
So, I’m Addicted to Social Media
As the 46 days went on I realized — oh my gosh, how awful my addiction was. The first few days, I would click on the app (which I still had for work) every x amount of minutes even though I had just gone to click on it x amount of minutes ago… only to find myself not on my account realizing I wasn’t supposed to be on it in the first place. I realized how much free time, down time, gaps in my productivity or split seconds I had in transitioning between activities I spent going to IT.
Soon, I found myself living in the moment rather than living on Instagram while eating with friends or posing WAY LESS for every possible photo in front of a cool wall — and I also found myself way more uncomfortable in front of a camera without filtering it for the ‘gram.
