{Day 16}: Soul ReTREAT

Hi everyone!  No word prompt for me today.  I'm taking a break from work and usual stuff to have a two-day retreat, so I won't be able to check the day's word prompt.  It's a two-day treat for the soul and spirit as I take my journey of faith to a higher level.  At my age, this is long overdue but well, better late than never.

I'm finally going to be baptized!  

I'm excited and at the same time, a little bit nervous.  I somehow know what's going to happen, generally.  But being there for real is something different.  Oh I always get nervous with the unexpected.  You know, the usual jitters.  But I am entrusting this to God.  He led me to this and I know He will make good use of this experience for me to grow more in faith.

As I walk in obedience, I feel excited for what's to come.  I know doors of opportunity to serve will open. Just the privilege of being used by God for His purposes makes my heart and my spirit sing for joy. 

So, I won't make this long.  Just to say, please pray for me as I go through this momentous event.  

God bless you!

{Day 1} Calling: Life's Great Purpose

I have always believed in my heart that I am called for a purpose, that very purpose for which God breathed life in me.  I believe that God has put that in each of our hearts and we will never find the kind of fulfillment that satisfies that God-given need until we know our particular calling in life. 

I remember in one of the pastor's sermon when he said that we will never know our true and ultimate calling unless we are first right with God, and we have that kind of relationship with Him that He desires. I found myself agreeing with that line of thought.  For how can we know our calling if we do not know the God who calls us?
