Purpose in the New Year
Posted by Colston | | Posted On Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Well, Christmas 2009 is officially over. I had the great opportunity to spend the Christmas with my family in Michigan. It was a great time seeing "new" family and getting to know them even better!
2009 has been a great year for me personally. Being married and doing ministry with Emily has been more amazing than I could have ever imagined. We have had a great year serving together and I think we are finally getting used to the ministry and family balancing act we have to play.
As I look back on this year I see that all that God has done in His church, in the youth ministry, in my marriage and in me personally. Its been pretty amazing! And as great is it has been I cannot help but expect so much more from God come 2010.
Matt. 19: 26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Matt. 19: 26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
My desire for 2010 is to believe this verse with all my heart and live this verse to my core. See I have the crazy belief that God has a purpose for my life, and honestly for every one's life. I believe that the purpose of my life was created by God for God. And since, the purpose for my life was given to me by God, I believe my purpose can only be achieved with God's help.
I have seen so many people, and honestly myself included, search for meaning and purpose in their life only to find themselves frustrated and disappointed with life. Reason being, is that they are looking for that purpose without finding God first. Every individual has a purpose in life and the only way to find it and accomplish it, is to go through God.
With that stated, I believe my purpose is to change the world. I know that sounds silly and even like Im running for Ms. America, but its true. With God's help, all things are possible, so why would I dream and strive for anything less?
What about you?
What about you?
Have you found your purpose in life yet?
Have you been searching for purpose and found yourself frustrated and disappointed
If you have found your purpose, are you dependent on God to fulfill it or are you trying to achieve it on your own?
What God sized dreams to you have?
2010, Im excited for you and Im expecting big things from you! I know its possible!
