When Seeking Purpose

Hey Protected babes,

Have you ever sat back to reflect over your life or your experiences and it never looked like how you intended it to be? Has it ever looked better than what you could have even imagined? If so, you are on your path to purpose at least that's what I like to believe. There were some seasons that looked like they were being dismantled, but in all reality I was getting prepared for something greater. We all have a ministry, a story on the inside of us that can help someone else. Being able to speak, write and create in a manner that allows your gifts and talents to help with a solution to someone else's problem is a blessing within itself. My belief is, purpose is what you are being called to do. It looked different from others and many did not even understand my process. It took me some time to understand that it was okay to walk on a different path than others. Once I did grasp that understanding and became okay with the direction of my life I started to believe that I was given a vision that only I was capable of carrying out because GOD gave that vision to me. I started to align myself with that exact vision and started taking actions towards bringing that vision into reality. That's when those who were sent to help me carry out my vision started to reveal themselves to me. If you are currently in a season of building don't allow ego or independent disorder to cause you to miss a blessing that will not just get you from vision to reality, but a blessing that will help clear up the way for everyone following you. When you are being called into a position to walk in purpose you are creating an individual identity for yourself. It is okay to remove yourself from culture, as it is imperative to create a sound mind. Allow GOD to guide you to the life that is already created for you. Building on GOD's word and not how culture or society says you should build will keep you focused. When creating you must cut off all negative distractions. Remember what ever you may feel might be a weakness or a character flaw within yourself will be the very area GOD uses to help you minister to others. The creator will take what he created within you in the first place and mold it to be used for its intended purpose. When you work hand in hand with the creator you will never be working with the average or working alone.

I've realized when you are seeking and walking in your purpose you don't get to decide your path. Yes you will have many assignments that are connected to you for a greater purpose, but each assignment is equipped to help you with the necessary skills you need for your intended purpose. Your path will present itself to you and you must become aligned with it. Trusting that your assignments are in alignment with your faith may not seem feasible to you at first. This is why mindset is important. You must put yourself in the mindset that the assignments that you're on are above you. It's not up to you to know all the how's in the beginning. Its your responsibility to know to become in alignment with what you are being called to do. GOD will take care of the how. When you sit in prayer by yourself you will start to receive answers, start to receive ideas and tools that are needed to fulfill this journey. When you start to pray for details on how to move and what to prioritize you will start realizing your thought process is changing. You are now setting your mind up to produce solutions rather than just seeing problems. This is where your faith has to become greater than your fear. Understanding and believing that you already have all of what you need. You should start to develop and be intentional about becoming accountable for your thinking and choices. Setting clear intention is an imperative action that must be done during this stage. Intention setting is clearly stating what you want to experience and achieved through your actions. It will always look different from others and many may not even understand the process. Here's a huge secret, that's okay because you were given a vision only for you to carry out.

In the moments that I felt alone therapy is what helped me the most. More times than some relying on the relationships that we surround ourselves with to help us on our journey is the very opposite of what we should be doing. I had to learn to understand that therapy and prayer goes hand in hand with my purpose. Therapy helps with my logic and mental health, while prayer helps with my spirit,faith, mind and character. I learned to be consistent with putting myself in a mindset of trusting the impossible.

Here are some tips i'll leave with you:

Renew your mind, starve your doubts and feed your faith. Develop a strategy to build consistency in your purpose. The vision alone isn't going to be the business, but it will be the vehicle that can get you to your intended purpose. Remember your story can and will always end in victory.

Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will."
