A few years ago I began my quest to find out why God created me. I was at a
crossroads in my life and working menial jobs to make ends meat. I knew there
had to be more in store for my life. What was God telling me? When would I
figure it out?
Fast forward to 2011. The job I loved was ending and I
didn't have a back up plan. For the first time, in a long time I had to do
something for me. God was leading me down uncharted territory. I was scared
out of my mind, but my faith wouldn't let me turn around. Thus my quest to
fulfill my purpose would continue into graduate school.
Fast forward to a
few days ago. As I walked around me house venting at trivial things, it finally
hit me. My calling had been revealed to me when I least expected it. How could
I have missed that? I was so busy doing everything for everyone that I forgot
to sit and listen. I needed God to refocus my mind.
On that day i
realized that God placed me here to be a helper and a helpmate. I am a helpmate
to my husband. I am a helper to all others. I give of my time, energy, heart,
my money, and my prayers. I may not always have what someone needs, but I know
that God does. Whatever provisions God has set, shall be so.
My days on
earth will be spent helping others. I strive to empower the people I know and
meet to be the best person they can be. I help others by encouraging them to
not be defined by their circumstances, but by their character. Life as a helper
can be tiresome. My strength does not come from me. It comes from
God.
I encourage you to seek out your purpose and calling in life. What
does God want you to do with the life He gave you? Who are you in Him? This
will not be an easy process, but it is a necessary step in your growth.
