Good Morning,
"Making an Impact"
The journey can end with a thought and a desire and the route is chosen, or there can be a long journey with many side roads. In this case it could take years to find the right path. If we are unsure we need to observe and feel God's leading.
Whatever the outcome and the particulars we can be sure that God does have a plan, and whatever we end up becoming we should poise ourselves to make an impact in the world. Not many of us can be a Billy Graham or a Mother Theresa who is known far and wide. Our "world" can be as small as our home, neighborhood, church or city. Everyone can look around and discover the action and scope that we are called to. We need to remember what is said in Scripture...
What do you think your God given mission is? I invite you to search your heart and see what God has for you. As you do this remember that you are not too old or too young to set out on the trip. The song below provides good food for thought about what is happening as you work to find your place of usefulness to God in the world.

In this writing you will be reading about living your life in such a way that you will give a positive impact to the people you meet. They will get thoughts funnelled through you from God. Here is a quote from this writing, "God has created us with a role in His creation. There are many ways we can step into this role. The job for us is to seek God and try to discern what He has for you to do...I invite you to search your heart and see what God has for you."
There is a twofold blessing involved in following the role God has for you. People will be impacted in a positive way, and you will be impacted by the blessing and learning you recieve from following his leading. Let's all find God's role for us.

"Making an Impact"
Written by
Corinne Mustafa
When you read this sign it proclaims what our job in life should be...not in topic detail but rather a general outline of how to fit yourself into God's world.
The fact is that God has created us with a role in His creation. There are many ways we can step into this role. The job for us is to seek God and try to discern what He has for you to do.
It can be a work in progress. Some times people do not find out what their destiny is until they are much older. One secular example of this is Grandma Moses who started painting at the age of 78 and painted until her death at the age of 100. There are many examples of slowing arriving at a given place. Others know where they want to head when they are very young. Last night on TV there was a young 15 year old who told her father that she wanted to be an astronaut and go to Mars when she was 3 years old.

For we are co-workers in God’s service;you are God’s field, God’s building.

This is not a song, but it is a video
that speaks of the importance of
your life having meaningful impact
on the people whose lives you touch.
May you learn from it.
