Today, I graduated college. The feeling is surreal. It hasn't hit yet, but it will soon. And in a small way, it already has.
I'm not sad that it's over. I'm not sad that this is marking the end of an era. I'm not sad. Really, I'm not. In fact, I'm ready for whatever is next. But see, that's the problem. God hasn't shown me, yet.
Last week, on Thursday, I finished my last assignment for school. I didn't know what to do after I was done. It's been a week and a day. And all I can think about is what is next. This past Wednesday, God and I were talking, and he told me that I do have purpose. I have purpose every single day. That purpose is to love, encourage and inspire people to Christ. That's my life purpose statement.
What I forgot was that every single day is a gift from God. He so desires for us to be in line with his heart and mind. When all we focus on is what lies ahead, we forget that he has a purpose for us, every single day. Usually, for me, that is a conversation.
That is what makes every day worth it. If you were able to love on someone, encourage someone or just listen to them, your day was a success. Because you were able to be there for someone else. I'm reminded of this, every day. But I choose not to see it. I choose to let it pass me by. I'm done with that.
I don't need an answer, God, I'm just gonna live every day with you.
You are the one that moves my heart, that guides my feet and that gives me the words. Only you, Lord. Only you.
