Dream Job

Growing up I dreamt of working on the Love Boat, being a Solid Gold dancer, and going into space. I wanted to see the world, to be famous, and to fly above the clouds to see the heavens and the universe.

These were dreams of a young girl who was searching for her purpose and her place in this world, though she didn’t know it then.

After a period of adolescent confusion and drifting towards cultural patterns to make sense of my identity and the reason for my life, I met my Maker. He gave me a new life and with it an understanding of who I am and what I was made for.

I no longer dream of seeing the world because I get to impact the world with God from where I am as He affords me the opportunities to feed, clothe, educate, and rescue lives around the globe. This is a fulfilling and lasting reality for me as well as for those in need.

I don’t dream of reaching for stardom anymore because I am already known, seen, and adored by my Maker. I get to sing and dance for my God whenever and wherever, and in His eyes, I am more than a cultural celebrity. I am His beloved, the apple of His eyes 🤗. Because of this, I know I am Enough.

I also don’t dream to see the universe because I get to be with the God who created the vast universe and everything in it including me! He is with me every moment of everyday and through the supernatural power of His Spirit living in me, I get to experience and understand the way this world works by His intentions. I get to work with Him to redeem and restore lives broken by sin.

I have more than a dream job. I have a divine purpose to impact souls for eternity!! This is what you and I were made for. We don’t have to settle for a dream job! We can choose to participate in our divine purpose when we choose to give our life to the God who gave us life 🙏.

There is nothing more fulfilling than knowing that what we do, here and now, will last into forever ♥️.

Experiencing Love

Daily writing prompt
Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
View all responses

Is there a negative example of feeling loved? Love is good and therefore is positive because it comes from God, who is love ❤️.

I felt loved when my husband heard me and follows up to check on my well-being.

I feel loved everyday by my Heavenly Father who created me because I can accept and love myself when I couldn’t do that before knowing Him.

I felt loved when my sons encourages me in my failings.

I felt loved today because God gives me another chance to know Him more than I did yesterday.

I feel loved right now because I can think clearly to make healthy decisions when I couldn’t for so many years.

I’ve always been and will always be loved by my Creator no matter what life brings. The fact that I can say this and believe it with all my heart and soul, is evidence that I not only feel loved, but am loved ❤️.

Manic Monday

It’s another manic Monday is not just an 80’s song. Mondays can be a drag, especially in the mundane and ordinary. We can feel overwhelmed in pursuing the rat race of life running here, there, and everywhere yet getting nowhere different than where we were yesterday. Except we are more tired, more scattered, and increasingly anxious while being restless with each passing hour because we are living like rats in a cage. We, even Christians, are copying the behavior of the masses and are filling our days with temporary and trivial pursuits instead of asking tough questions like, “Why am I doing such and such?”, “Should I be going after this or that?”, “What is it I’m after?” “Will what I do now matter in 5, 10, or, 20 years?”

God created us with an intelligent mind to make decisions based on His example. We are to imitate Him and not mimick the behavior and activities of the people around us, even if they are Christians.

Our days will be manic if God, who is our Maker, is not a part of it. Unless we give Him complete access to all of our moments and pursue Him first and always, we will continually have tired bodies, anxious minds, empty souls, a hopeless future, and an utterly, meaningless existence.

NIL

Thinking about the term NIL this morning on my jog with God. In case you’re not in the know, it stands for Name Image Likeness. Did you know that each person on planet earth has a NIL? Yes, we do!

We have been created or given life by the God who made the heavens, the earth, and everything in it. Our Name, Image, and Likeness or NIL comes from Him because he made us.

You and I wear His name, we look like him, and we have his traits imprinted in us. And this my friends, makes our net worth much more valuable than any amount of money, fame, or influence that a company can pay for a NIL of our own making.

We is priceless because our NIL comes from the God who owns everything in the whole universe!
