Don't Stay Stuck, Focus on Your Life Purpose Today!

If you have been feeling a little down, a little anxious, or a little fatigued after all the pandemic-related events combined with a world in chaos, you aren't alone.

The answer to all that kind of stress is, as always, to reach out to God. In him, you will find the comfort you need. Trust that he has you in the palm of his hand. He IS WORKING where you cannot see.

Don't rely on the circumstances around you as your compass.

In Matt. 7:24 Jesus said that everyone who hears his words and obeys them is like a wise (wo)man who built her house on solid rock. That is, she has a healthy foundation that won't crumble when life's storms hit it.

KEEP TO YOUR LIFE PURPOSE

Even though you may feel down right now, tap into remembering your life purpose here on earth. God created you for his enjoyment. He has assignments for you.

Your purposes include loving yourself, your neighbour, but most of all God. When you ask him for his agenda on your day, he will go to work through you. As you develop your gifts and talents and share them with the world, God works through you to mentor, teach, guide, and bless others in the world, and you, in turn will be blessed.

Which of your talents should you work on tonight or tomorrow?

Update December 2022 - Pace Yourself and Ask God for a Guiding Word

 

I've been busy living my life purpose in other areas over the last little while, so haven't added much to this blog. But as the special project I was involved in winds down, I am here to check in and decide the direction of this blog going forward. 

I am so blessed that the stats show, that even with my absence, there have been many visitors. I hope those who landed here came across something worthwhile that applies to their own life. 

COMPETING PRIORITIES

At times, we can take on too much. We find we are juggling too many competing priorities. That is why I stopped posting here regularly--God sent me on a path that had a greater priority and urgency. I am honoured.

Have you asked God what his priority for you is right now?

PACE YOURSELF 

One of my mottos over 2021 & 2022 has been to PACE myself. I am working at putting perfectionism down. I am content if a project takes three times as long as I first assumed it would. 

Do you pace yourself? 

ASK GOD FOR A GUIDING WORD 

My word for 2022 was ENJOY. This year, that word came to mind often! It went along with the idea of pacing myself. I felt God saying to me--whatever you are doing should be done with enjoyment, not with stress. 

That word got me off the hook many times. I tried hard to default to it. 

I think God has already given me my word/phrase for 2023. It is LET GOD. 

As women, we are tempted to try to work things out--find solutions--fix ourselves or others--and work hard. But God has been showing me that it is HE that works through me. I need to LET him show me solutions, fix me, fix others, and take the pressure off myself. For me, that may mean less planning and more being ready to be spontaneous--to be surprised by what he tells me to do in a day. It's a very empowering way to live. 

Did you have a word for 2022? Did it guide you?

Do you have a new guiding word for 2023 yet?
