Grace

Happy New Year! I thank God for another year. I thank God for my village. I thank God for continuing to extend his grace and mercy toward my family. I won't complain. I won't give up. I will continue to run this race. I am looking forward to all that 2018 has to offer. New victories. New lessons. New memories. New mercies. New grace. 

2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Purpose

pur·pose  

noun

1. the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.

2. have as one's intention or objective.

What is the reason you exist? If you died today, what would the world miss? What were you created for? What's your purpose? You were created for a reason, an objective. Your life has direction and meaning. There is a plan. Maybe you were created to love. Maybe you were created to dance or sing. Maybe you are a gifted architect or designer. You were given gifts that are uniquely yours. Maybe it's the gift of gab. What are you good at? Are you athletically inclined? Your talents can help you identify your purpose. Live life knowing you are here for a reason. Live intentionally. Live on purpose.

"I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that's what I'm going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done."- Kendrick Lamar
