Day 2 of my week away from my blog I saw a pastor on a program talking about finding your God given gift and living out your life’s purpose. I was glad to be in the moment listening to his words. He said a whole lot of things that resonated with where I currently am at.

The process of living out your purpose  begins when we are very young. It could be that we are born with a special need that allows our parents, siblings and families a chance  to learn from us.

It could also be that we are born with a very special gift. A very smart young child or prododigy who can play the piano right away that effects the world in a particular way.

we all come with our own very special attributes. None of us have it all though either.

For me I began to ask myself when I was a teenager, whats life and this existence about? All of the heavy duty questions accompanied by the fears of whats goning to happen when we grow up. What would I do? How would I make my living? How would I meet the right girl? etc.

I had attentive parents and grandparents so I was able to weather that period. but it is a scary time when we are young. When my children were born in the back of my mind I remembered my personal experience growing up and watched for the stress signs if they were to arise in my kids. Each child is different but each one has lived through this process to different degrees. You have to love your kids no matter what and let them know that you are with them and will support them as they make their way on their own personal journey. One of the most beautiful parts of a flower is when you watch it bloom. Kids are no different, some flowers take longer to bloom but they all do with love and encouragement. They are all magnificent when they do too. Amen. 🙂

Before you listen to this song next song I would like to say that I do have a personal connection to this song…

It was my first St. Agnes School dance at age 11. I danced with Elizabeth Reagan and although I thought she was nice the magic was not there. lol 🙂 plus, there was like 50 kids at the dance and 85 parents chaperoning us. OMG

I think the fathers all had shotguns too. 🙂

God looks down upon his creation and wants to see us as a brilliant garden of love in service  to oneanother.
