Thank you for taking out time to read my blog btw. I know now a days people rarely even like to read **guilty** so thank you for the sacrifice.
Anyways, this is just a random post. I still plan on blogging about my weight lost journey as well as other things so that should be surfacing pretty soon (be on the look out).
So I was thinking about my life goals and what I really want to accomplish. All through college, everyone expects you to have the answers... "what do you plan on doing?" "Do you have a job lined up?" "What's your 5 or 10 year plan?"
Like I understand that it is good to have intentions with your life but as a believer, our lives are based up God's plans for us. So you can see how answering those questions may seem a little farfetched.
So from my freshman year, would I have imagined that I have the job I have now? Not at all. I shall go into my job and how God blessed that to be later but I can say that I never planned to even go in the direction I am now in.
At 18, I imagined that by 22, I'd have my degree and I would be in grad school with a beau about to be married. (YES, I was one of those...fairytales & pixy dust) Well I do have my degree, I am with someone who I know (if God says the same) will change my last name but my thoughts on grad school changed so much by the ending of my sophomore year.
By the time I graduated, I was sooooo OVER adult education because I learned that a key factor is:
PASSION
Man, when I tell you, life was miserable for me in a lot of my classes because I had no true motivation or passion. You either have to have a passion for learning in general or a passion to accomplish a specific achievement with your degree.
My only passion was opening doors for those in my life who felt that even reaching the handle was too far. So when I did graduate it was a huge blessing for multiple reasons.
To me, just finishing was enough to motivate to keep pushing forward, despite the struggles I might have to go to just to reach the finish line. I don't know....it's like once you see that you were put here to do more than the ordinary, it motivates you to keep making it. Even when things look soooo unlikely.
I do of course still want a family. I still feel like for my life, my biggest and most fulfilling accomplishment will be becoming a mother and giving my family the things that I didn't have. No shade towards my mother though, she did an awesome job with what she had, whether people were in her life or not.
She taught me how to be strong, and more importantly, how to be strong in Christ.
My life was meant to be more than just the regular. Purpose. We all have it. Yet many of us wait years to tap into it. I don't want to abuse the time God has for me. Wisdom. I desire to be wise with my time here. Does that make me weird?
Does it make me weird that my mind is constantly thinking about where God is taking me? Guess that makes me peculiar. I can careless about the temporary things that is just as fleeting as our lives themselves.
Waste. Is what a life is when we allow ourselves to be distracted by things that have as much power of its mortality as I do over my own.
What are my life goals? I intend on seeing life through the eyes of Christ because that is how I can live life in its fullest. And that may age me (old soul indeed), but man when I pass, what will someone say about my life?
I hope it motivates them to find themselves in Christ. To discover His love for them and to really dive into a true, authentic, worthwhile life of gratitude and accomplishment. I do plan on checking other Earthly things off my list, but man, what's the point of them if they have no purpose in our lives. Then we are just wasting our time.
PURPOSE.
FINDING IT IS MY LIFE GOAL.
Deep I know, but sooo worth it. And you guys will hear all about it through my blog ;) lol
Stay Tuned lovies <3
