digging deeper
i read this and thought it was absolutely beautiful
and wanted to share with you all
…
we
are all divinely connected, despite the time and distance. not everyone
is in tune with it and in our modern day world, most of us will lose
ourselves in the day to day busy life, getting lost in the material
things of this world, making a living, stressful situations that need to
be resolved, etc… is this really why we are here on this earth? or, do
we dig deeper to find our true calling, our soul purpose?
…
get past the superficiality and listen to the
quiet still voice of God. God brings signs to us all the time. just
hiking outdoors in beautiful nature, you can find peace. in that quiet
place, listen and watch for clues all around you. appreciate the little
simple things. pick and smell the sweet fragrance of a flower, admire
the sunshine rays beaming down on you, listen to the water flowing down a
river or creek. in these places, you will recognize God’s peace and
glean amazing ideas on how to fulfill your dreams and mission. it is
good to take a step back and reflect on your life. don’t get caught up
in stressing over the hustle and bustle of daily routine and
obligations.. it is important to keep a good work ethic, but how do you
carry it out more effectively and peacefully without stressing about
every detail? mahatma gandhi said, “each one has to find his peace from
within. and peace to be real must be unaffected by outside
circumstances.” it is better to get things done as best you can, while
still keeping your inner peace. then let go and go with the flow. you
will find all that you may be working on will come naturally, without
any worry and without forcing things to happen. you may have to overcome
obstacles, but know in your heart, God is bringing you all the positive
people and resources to help you get through it. stay positive and
hopeful. keep the faith and have an understanding that God will bring
things to fruition all at the right time. let go and let God is a
popular saying and a very true statement. just let it happen, when it is
supposed to.
…do you ‘dig deeper’ on a regular basis…
what’s your soul purpose in life?
i have decided to ponder this over the next few weeks
and will be sharing my personal results with you all soon
in addition, i would love to hear your thoughts
{planning to share some of yours as well- thanks in advance}

I absolutely love this post! I am definitely guilty of getting caught up in the day to day sometimes and not listening to God as quietly as I should. I think I'm going to challenge myself to do this as well!

Love this post! I totally get caught up in the grind of the day or even the week that I forget to just sit down and be still. Sometimes I think I'm so guilty of trying to make my purpose happen so badly that I forget that God needs to be involved in the process.

I definitely feel closer to God when I'm out in nature and being in the moment. It's so important to stay connected with your spirit. I actually just wrote something very similar. I am a true believer in the power of prayer. <3

I'm sure you're familiar but I read A Purpose Driven Life for a small group once and it was the best read. I found that throughout my reading I was better able to define what my purpose is and God's purpose for my life. I agree that we need to slow down from time to time and revel in God's creation. This helps me stay centered 🙂
