Purpose & Contentment…

Before I begin this post, let me start off with the definition of the word content:

  1. Freedom from worry or restlessness :  peaceful satisfaction

  2. The state of being happy and satisfied : the state of being content

Contentment Within….

When you awake in the morning, what is the first feeling or emotion you feel when you open  your eyes? Is it a feeling of purpose, happiness, joy, gratefulness, peacefulness, understanding, hate, anger, misplacement, or confusion?

A lot of times when we wake up we forget that there is a GREATER PURPOSE for us being awakened. And, the reason is NOT because my kids woke me up or my significant other woke me up.  You have been woken up by none other than the CREATOR.  He sees something in you that he is trying to illuminate and develop.  Every day you are given the opportunity to step into your purpose and determine WHY you are here and what you are meant to do in this life on earth that is pleasing to God.

Exodus 9-16

Knowing that you were given this opportunity to chase after His purpose for you and your life, I ask again when you first awake what are some of the feelings you feel when you open your eyes?  If you have never taken the time out to really and truly reflect on your eye opening feelings and emotions, maybe you should because if you have not you will continue to go on in life not realizing that God has something greater for you.  Even if you are happy in life and content where you are, wouldn’t you feel so much better being where GOD has destined you to be.  How can you do all the work and not have faith that it can propel into areas in which you didn’t even believe to be possible.

Contentment 2

From my personal experience, I have experienced every feeling or emotion in which I listed above.  Some days I open my eyes and I just don’t know my purpose at all.  Yeah I know I have to work and get the kids ready for school as well as myself.  However, I sometimes do not know HIS purpose for me throughout the day.  Yes, my want is to be better, in every aspect of my life, than I was yesterday but how do I compare my want with HIS want, I CANNOT.  There is no way to because ultimately my life is HIS.

Even when I don’t know my purpose I do know to be grateful for the opportunity to at least have another day to get it right.  My happiness is in knowing that He is giving me a chance to come close to HIM and do HIS will before it is too late.

Family Ties

From my intro, you can see that I am new to blogging however I am ready to take this leap to truly be a help to our nation. If I help none but 1 person I am pleased as is God.  To help is my purpose so here goes nothing:

FAMILY TIES

As children we grow up feeling like our parents are our ultimate protectors and our sisters and brothers are our family soldiers. Not soldiers like military soldiers but family soldiers. When one has been wronged by another person we ALL have been wronged. So from here what did we do: come together against the world and stand strong together as one.

But what do you do when your mom was addicted to drugs, father cares less about you, and brothers and sisters fight one another on a daily basis?

Most become products of their society and a victim to their own disruptive mind. They allow their flesh to rule over their lives instead of following and chasing after Christ. Liquor and anger consumes you and all you can do is drink, yell, fight, and hurt those who love you. You think the world is against you and you just cannot see reality for what it truly is.

Open your eyes to the destruction of self that is taking place. Your fleshly body is being guided by satan while your spiritual man is dying inside. Craving to be fed so that all of the desires of your heart can be fulfilled.

Take care of your spirit, love your self, seek out happiness from the inside out, and truly commit yourself to the unfailing love of GOD!

Blessings to All ❣
