There’s something to be said about trusting what God’s put in you. What does that mean? It kind of goes along the lines of finding what you’re gifted at and pursuing the betterment of those skills. It’s a ridiculously hard thing to come out of high school expected to know what you want to do with the rest of your life… so hard that sometimes we go straight into college, we do what we’re told would be a good idea, and then we emerge from college after four years with the same confusion and lack of purpose that we felt coming out of high school. It’s scary. What are we even here on earth for? Do we even have A PURPOSE? Am I even doing the right thing? There are so many “what-ifs” it can feel terrifying… terrifying enough to not do anything… to just go with the flow of society and try our best to not think about it.

There are many things in life that take my breath away…. beautiful sunsets… thanksgiving dinner…. the words “i do.” But when I experience someone doing something they can’t get enough of… something they’re ridiculously good at… it does more than take my breath away… it reminds me of our purpose and brings a huge stupid grin to my face. Purpose… it can be scary to think about because it’s hardly clear and can change… but finding it may be the difference between life and living. I hope you’re finding it… and I hope you share it with everyone.
