My pastor (who's also my boss) has told us all to find our sentence; the one thing people will say we lived for once we're gone. The thing we're most passionate about. It sounds simple...but not so! To take my life and whittle it down to one simple, understandable sentence takes more focus and effort than I thought. And here's the kicker, I don't even know what my sentence would be. I know what I do, what my job is, what I do because it needs to be done and even what I do because I love it and am passionate about it. But that's a lot of "do-ing."
What this whole sentence thing has done has challenged me to simplify my life and truly live focused on my passion. I know God has given everyone a specific passion, something that, underneath it all, drives them. I have a lot of passion in my life. I am passionate about my church, the student and kids ministries, women's ministry, my family, my job...and the list goes on. Therein lies the difficulty.
So...what do I do? I believe that God said this to me today: simplify. Use this time to uncover my underlying, driving, God-given force and allow that to motivate me to be the best representation of Jesus and His Church, the best wife, mother, daughter and friend that I can be.
Now starts my journey. I'm using this blog as my personal journal. In the next 90 days I am on a mission to clarify and simplify my life; spirit, soul and body. My goal is to journal on this blog every other day on the ways I am journeying.
Sentence...here I come! I know this is going to be one exciting ride...but isn't it always with Him?
