In Pursuit of Purpose





Before I had a relationship with Jesus, I did not know who I was, or where I was going with my life.


I was getting ready to graduate from high school and my future plans were often on my mind.  I knew I wanted to go to college, but I wasn't sure which avenue to pursue.  I had always longed to make a difference with my life, but that was hard to fathom because I did not feel significant enough to do so.   


One day, a friend invited me to a Bible study.  It was then I discovered my life mattered by having a relationship with Jesus.



From that moment on, I realized that I did have a special purpose while I'm being here on earth!



Soon, my college life began and I remember feeling excited!  I no longer felt stressed about starting out in a particular direction.  And even though I didn't have all of the answers regarding my future, it didn't seem important because I knew God was in control and had a plan for me.       



As I look back over that time in my life, I can see how the Lord gave me very specific guidance.  I completed numerous college degrees and I have been in a very fulfilling career where I am able to make a significant difference in the lives of many people.  


And today, I continue to feel excited about the journey He has for me to live out.  Without a doubt, I can tell you my life is very satisfying and there is never a dull moment!  What's even better, the full life that Jesus offers lasts forever. If I were to die right now, I know for certain that I'd be with God in heaven.
