Before I received Jesus into my life, I was lost and without purpose

I knew something was missing, but I couldn't put my finger on what. I was always chasing the “next best thing”—never content with what I had. New ideas, new opportunities, new goals... I jumped at anything that seemed like it might finally give me a sense of direction or fulfillment. But nothing lasted. I lived in a constant cycle of what ifs—restless and uncertain.

Then everything changed. I discovered what it means to live with the promise of eternal life. Since receiving Jesus, my life has taken on new meaning. My wife even told me she's noticed a huge change in me—she says I look focused now, like I’m living on purpose. And she’s right. I’m no longer chasing every shiny new thing. I don’t feel empty or stuck in a loop of second-guessing. I'm grateful. I'm grounded. I know why I’m here.

One way God speaks to us is through dreams—He’s been doing it since the Old Testament. After days of praying for clarity about my purpose, I had a dream. When I woke up, I couldn’t remember anything except one word: evangelism. That’s all. But somehow, that one word was more than enough. It still blows my mind. I believe God made it unmistakably clear.

Now, I’m no longer lost. I don’t fear death. I know that the hundred years we get here—if we’re lucky—will one day feel like a blink compared to eternity.

I live with eternity in mind now.

And I believe what we do in this life echoes into the next.
