Questions

There are so many questions we tend to ask ourselves.  Such as, What is life about?  What is it for?  Why do I exist?  Why am I here?  All these questions are very difficult to answer even for Christians.  Us, Christians can say we are here to glorify God; which, is essentially why God made us.  But, we also have the question, What is MY purpose?  We all have different purposes that God has planned us for.  We may not know what they are yet or maybe God has placed us in that purpose already.  It is difficult to know but let me tell you, when you hear God tell you what you are supposed to be doing, you can rest assured there are no questions asked about it.  You WILL know when calls you to do something.  We sometimes may have the thoughts of if it is us trying to convince ourselves or if it is God talking to us.  I have had so many people ask me this.  In all honesty, I didn't know.  I knew that God was going to take care of me because He had done that so many times in the past but I was not sure what hearing God's voice was like.  This summer when I started this blog, was when I knew what God's voice sounded like.  The words that are used to describe it doing nothing for me.  Trust me, when you know, you WILL know. 

However, to answer any of the above questions, all you really need to do is be still and listen.  Listen to what God has for you or maybe something that leads to what God has for you.  You never truly know until it's over.  I truly believe that God brought me to Greenville to get to know who He truly was personally; for myself.  I lived my whole life through my church and my parents' faiths but I never really took it on myself.  Sure, I went out and did service projects around town or even on mission trips.  I heard so many people say, "You have God solidly in your heart.  We can see it.  You do everything just for Him.  We want to be like you."  Oh my gosh, seriously?!  I knew how to put on a front.  I learned that growing up in the church that I did.  I knew so many people who would do everything against what God was during the week but would put on an image in church.  I knew how to do that.  Those people who said those things to me, knew absolutely nothing about me.  Sad to say, including my family.  Right now, it is still hard for my family and friends to understand the changes that I have undergone this last month or so.  It may seem strange to them but this is who I am now.  So, the questions that I have been able to answer for myself are absolutely none of them.   Ha.  Seriously.  I just want God to do what He wants in my life.  If He answers any of those questions then, awesome.  If not, He has something for me I definitely was not thinking for myself.  So you need to let God handle those questions and just roll with what He gives you.  Trust me.  It's worth the ride.
