I have been inundated recently with the concept of 'destiny'. For the last year (or so) I have been questioning the reason for my existence in terms of wondering what exactly am I supposed to be doing with my time here in this world. First and foremost, I was meant to be Mose's wife. Secondly, I was meant to be a mother to Harmony and Mose V. Aside from that, I often wonder if I am truly doing what I have been called to do with my life.
One thing I do know is that we are ALL called and pre-destined according to the purpose of his will (Eph. 1:11). In addition, we were all created in order to do good works, which God outlined for us before we were even born (Eph. 2:10).
However, with the free will that we have been given, we have been given the choice to decide to walk in that purpose.
Part of my purpose was shown to me when I was a child. I had the privilege of going on missions trips when I was 12 and 17. Both trips were funded by donations by family members and friends, by soda can drives and carwashes, and the trip when I was a teenager was even made possible by extra tips given to me when I was working as a server at the Golden Corral. It was a miracle on each occasion that I was even able to go on the trip, since my family certainly did not have the money for me to go. Both trips opened my eyes to the world in a huge way and they both changed my life forever.
My next two posts will be about these trips, since they each deserve a post (or more) of their own.
Stay tuned!
