Just the other day I went to Spur for breakfast. It’s a real treat for me and while I was
waiting for my meal to arrive I have notice the sugar sachets on the table.
So I decided to take one and at the back of the sachet is an
interesting quote printed on them from famous poets at the back. I have read
each one, but this one stood out for me the most.
“Believe in your heart that you’re meant to live a
life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.” ~ Roy T Bennet
You see the
last few years were an emotional roller coaster ride for me. I had some happy days, but not those real
great days that I would jump for joy!
Every time
I wanted to pursue something the door would just shut in my face. Most nights I
would either watch movies online or I would lie and bed and cry. My sleeping
patterns have changed in such ways that I would mostly sleep in the day and do
my work in the afternoon.
So I kept
looking at that verse and it spoke to me. Two words popped out for me namely
passion & purpose.
For a very
long time I wanted to know what are my real purpose are on earth!? In the past
I have prayed about it, but for me it felt like that God doesn’t hear my
prayers or I just don’t know any more how to tune into the frequency that God
are talking to me.
I want to
be the kind of woman that God would be happy to see me and I want to be one of
them that would put a smile on His face!
I felt like a loser in that department.
Regarding
passion that’s also another biggie for me.
I have many interests or another word would be hobbies. Unfortunately my
passions aren’t supporting me financially…
I have that
sugar sachet here while I’m typing and I’m glancing on those words and somehow
I have that tiny feeling that things would work out. I guess you could call it HOPE that God have
put inside of my heart of not giving up on myself for stop living.
That I
should start to live! At the moment it
takes courage on some days to face the day, but I refuse to give in to that
stage that I was in 2007. It was the
worst year of my entire life, but yet at the end of that year I had the best
time of my life! (Think of the movie “Dirty Dancing” with the song called Time
of my life) That’s how I was feeling in December 2007, since I have discovered
that God really loved me.
It was one
of the best decisions in my entire life that I have made to give my heart to
Him and I simply don’t want to disappoint Him.
I think
that God was speaking to me through the words that are printed on that sachet.
It’s up to
me to rise to that challenge of living a life of passion, purpose, magic and
miracles.
It’s never
too late to turn around and to go with a sincere heart to God and to ask for
directions.
Are you
living a life of passion & purpose?
What steps
do you need to make to feel alive?
May you find
that God cares about you so deeply and that He wants to make a connection with
you – don’t leave it until the last minute…
Stay blessed,
