Who Am I

My schedule has been very full lately. Going back to school is much more difficult than I ever imagined, especially as I also try to keep up with all of my other perceived duties. I know that sometimes we all take on more than we should. At least I do, I have that desire to please those around me. And there is also a need to prove myself; I don’t have a college degree so I have to prove to others that I do have intelligence and capabilities. Right now I don’t have a job, so I have to prove to everyone that I am not lazy, and that I do have value.
There is so much that I feel that I have to prove to others that I have forgotten what is important to me. I have gone so long down this road of trying to please those around me. And trying to do what I was supposed to do that I am not even sure what is important to me anymore.
I wrote earlier of finding my dreams, I am still looking, but I think I am on the right path. Through my daily devotional, and opening my heart to hear God when he speaks, I know that I will find my way. And once I do get on that right path I trust that the pieces will fall into place and there will be no doubt that I am walking down the road that he intended for me to travel.

Finding our Purpose

I know that God has a purpose and a plan for my life, and I also believe that if I follow that plan or path that he has chosn for me that I will be rewarded. Not necessiarly with riches and things but much greater rewards.

I pray regularly that God will show me the way and that I will open my heart and follow him down that path. It is a struggle, after all we were also given free will. We can make our own choices, and choose our own way. But if we will just let go and let God take the lead, our life's journey would take us down roads that we never imagined.

"'Do Your Own Thing'

'Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.'
E. H. Chapin"

So therefore when we do our own thing, this action affects not only ourselves but it is sometimes far reaching so we should always think before w act, or look before we leap.

Leap of Faith

As I read my daily devotional, I came to better understand and realize what I have know all along. If I pray about it, and trust in God to provide the answer to my prayer then he will also show me the way to achieve it.

So today I pray that my dreams of writing are not only my dreams, but also God's plan. I pray that he will put the words on my heart that he would have written so that maybe, just maybe someone will be touched by those words. And it will help them in some way, as the writings of others have helped me so much through my own trials, troubles and joys.
