"IT ALL STARTS WITH GOD"

So, today is the dayJ! Chapter 1, week 1 and can I say I’m EXCITED to start this journey! It’s only the 2^nd week in January and already soooooo many AMAZING things have happened! Not only for myself, but for others around me, and as we grow into our “purpose” doors are going to be opening from every angle! However, in order to really understand our PURPOSE and what God has in store for us…I’m going to need you to DISCONNECT from the WORLD and be “open minded” think OUTSIDE of the box instead of trapping yourself in. ARE YOU READY? ARE YOU READY TO SUPER SIZE YOUR LIFE?!

                Ok, so first things first: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOUJ. Lol. I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to let go of your EGO here and out that aside…I’ll repeat it one more time just in case: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOOOUUU!!! Nope, the PURPOSE of YOUR LIFE is far greater that your own personal experience or even your happiness. IF you want to know WHY you were placed on this earth, you must begin with GOD. You were born by HIS purpose & for HIS purpose. Think about that a little bit, what are your natural talents?

Maybe that purpose is to dance, sing or write. Maybe you’re purpose is to become a pilot, firefighter or boxer but whatever that purpose is: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU! I know this is a hard concept to grasp, it took me a little while to realize that as well, but when I think about it…it’s soooooo true. You could reach all of your personal goals, become a huge success (according to the “world”) and still miss the purpose for which God CREATED you!

                You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life isn’t really going to make much sense. You’re always going to feel “empty” inside and “searching” for that ONE thing to satisfy your desire to live life to the fullest. You see, God is the source of your life and to discover your purpose you should turn to God’s word (aka the bible) and not the world’s wisdom. Trust me; I know this for a FACT…

                I was saved at the age of 16 living in Puerto Rico and fell “off track” from my relationship with God, from about 17yrs until I turned 25? I laugh thinking about it now, but it’s true. I eventually became “agnostic” because I knew there was a “higher being”. I sure didn’t come from a monkey and the earth didn’t form from some asteroid that blew up. However, I still turned my back on GodL. Even though deep within I “KNEW” HE existed, I fell into that worldly wisdom.

 It wasn’t until a few years ago, going through the process of a hard break-up that I felt completely EMPTY for the first time. Things that I used to do didn’t really satisfy me because it only made me happy for a “moment”. I was LONGING & YEARNING for eternal HAPPINESS…I wanted to grasp onto such happiness that it wouldn’t ever let me go, and the best part is: I HAVEJ. A lot of us are BLOCKING what God has for us because we’re trying to LIVE for ourselves. Through God, and because of HIM I’m “too happy” for people now, lol. I was able to let go of MYSELF, my needs and wants and let HIM into heart. The “old” me DIED to self because the NEW me lives through Christ…remember: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU.
