Know Your Purpose!

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10

Ahhh, after traveling over 12 hours, I finally stepped foot into my airport hotel room in Amsterdam. I couldn’t wait to lay down in a bed and get some sleep! As I first walked into the room, I noticed how small it was, literally smaller than my bedroom at my apartment. Yet, I distinctly hear these words, “the room knows it’s purpose”. Wow! That couldn’t be more accurate! When you’ve been traveling hours and hours and are staying for only a short time in an airport hotel room, what exactly are you looking for?? A large room with abundant space? Fancy pictures and murals on the wall? An exotic, large bathroom with fancy soaps/shampoos? Absolutely not! All I wanted was a cool, dark, quiet room with an extremely comfortable bed, a hot shower, and internet access. That’s exactly what I got! That room knew its purpose and served it well. It didn’t try to pretend it was something different or fake being something it wasn’t. Though it wasn’t big and fancy like other hotel rooms, I wouldn’t want it to change, because it fullfilled it’s purpose just perfectly!!

Obviously you can see where this is going :) This is something I’ve been praying very fervently for on this trip and long before I left for this trip. I want to further know what my purpose/calling is. After these five months, I want direction and purpose. I know I’m a child of God , I know I'm adored and loved by the King of Kings…but I want to know my specific purpose! This word from the Lord about my airport hotel room was so timely.

I’ve now met the rest of the “international” team, there are 7 of us total; from Canada, Switzerland, Norway, London, and I’m the only one from the US! It’s gonna be awesome! I’m so pumped and ready to go…I don’t know where I’m going or what I’m doing, but I’m ready :)
