“The World Needs Who You Were Made To Be” Joanna Gaines
Now more than ever I’m focused on my purpose for being at all. Refining my focus to purpose doesn’t mean I’ve learned what my purpose is, or that I’ve got it all figured out. I only believe that I’m completely unique; intentionally design by God for this place, this time, to accomplish His plan. The cover of The Magnolia Journal, 10th Issue—Authenticity—has the above quote on the cover. It doesn’t profess to answer, “What’s my authentic self?” but it challenges me to consider pursuing the discovery of what I was intended to contribute to the world I live in.
“God made you as you are in order to use you as He planned.” J. C. McCualey
I’ll continue to face risk with God’s help. Risk of not being liked is only the beginning. Fear of failure is my next mountain to risk climbing, with God’s help. Do you have a definition of authenticity? God made you unique, but are you willing to take the risk to be authentic? What will you do today to shed pretense and be one step closer to the authentic you? Lord, help me drop the walls of pretense that I've spent so many years building and learn to be authentic. Amen “For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” Habakkuk 2:3 What are your thoughts? Libby
