Living with Purpose and Meaning
Living with purpose and meaning is something we all desire; it’s a desire implanted us by God. In the video below, I talk about three different perspectives to consider in relation to fulfilling our purpose as God desires. I hope it’s an encouragement to you.
For more information on this topic, check out my podcast, Finding Our Purpose in Unity with God.
Loved these thoughts Rachel. I have been working on accepting that my purpose is being fulfilled in the place God has me. Sometimes that’s a hard pill to swallow when the place you are is not the place you would choose. The temptation to think “If I can just get there…then God can use me.” is really strong. Thanks for the encouragement to bloom where I am planted!

Hi Jelillie – this is a tough area for many of us. God does give us certain desires to motivate and direct us, but He is the one to direct our steps to them – so we have to trust HOW He is directing us – because it is usually what we wouldn’t choose. It becomes apparent that His ways aren’t our ways
Awhile ago, God told me that the preparation of the leader is the most important part — yet it’s the one phase, sometimes a long one, we often want to by-pass. God’s ways and timing are perfect. If we stay connected to Him seeking His will, I think we can trust we are where we are suppose to be.

Hi Rachel,
It’s so refreshing to see a beautiful lady like you to teach the deep truth of God’s word. I wonder if you’re married, have children or like Rachel from Old Testament you’re childless.
Keep up the good work
your brother in Christ
