What is your more?
My life hasn't gone as expected -- maybe you can relate. I thought being a mom would happen easily and come naturally. It hasn't. I thought I'd never lose a child. I've lost 4. But in the midst of it all, I'm finding healing, comfort and meaning in Jesus. And that is the best life of all.

Since losing Preston, I've definitely had that feeling of "you have a bigger purpose in life". For now, it's sharing my experience as a bereaved mother, sharing the happiness that was my son in the hopes of helping someone else, in the hopes of making someone smile.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing "more." probably nothing you would have chosen, but you're creating beauty from ashes.
DeleteI wish I knew. I've felt this way my entire adult life. I'm about to turn 42, and I still feel like there is something missing. Hopefully I figure it out someday!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do too! Isn't it strange how, when we're kids, we think we'll have it ALL figured out as adults? I've always known I wanted to be a writer. And that I would write a book. And that I would adopt. And my business fell into that plan later on in life. Even still -- I feel this burning desire to help or inspire others. And I'm not sure always what that is going to look like.
DeleteDo you ever feel like you are meant for something less? Like the job God gave you is way too big for your limited strength, a la Moses when God called him? That's how I feel...
ReplyDeleteAhhh. Yes. That too.
DeleteHave you ever read the Dream Giver? I highly, highly recommend.
