Purpose at an Early Age
We had our first meeting with 40 days of purpose group tonight and it actually exceeded my expectations. Walking back to my car I pondered who God's made me to be. I've long known my purpose as God began revealing it to me in highschool. There's always new layers and things to be discovered about who God's made us to be. As usual, I find that I'm always one of the youngest among the group. We have a member in our group who is age 81. Praise God that there are still things He can reveal to you at that age. I also thank God that He has given me so much direction in my "youth". I became a born again Christian when I was 16 years old; and even I feel like that was too old. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful, but my desire for my own children (should I have them God-willing) is that they would walk in the house of God all the days of their lives. There was much adolescent heartache that could have been avoided had I had a personal relationship with God. Thank God that what the enemy meant for evil, God will use it for good. I intend to steer my children in the purposes of God the way my parents did for me. I don't want my children to repeat many of the mistakes I made. They will live purpose-filled lives always. That's all for now. I'm tired and I need to wash my hair.
