This summer has led to a lot of self reflection that sometimes is not the most fun thing to do. At the same time it leads to becoming a better version of yourself. While so often I wish I knew exactly what I am going to do with each of my days and how to take the next step to reach my goal I realize that there needs to be the peace with just taking the next step and living in the moment. This summer I have done exactly that by meeting new people and enjoying planning parties for people to enjoy each other's company. By planning these things I hope to introduce like minded people to create a community of people who are inspiring each other to be the best versions of themselves.
Something I have learned very slowly and am still learning is that I am not perfect so this life is far from perfect. Which what even is perfect? ....besides our Lord. As my mornings start with a slap in the face (literally) from a lady I care for I wonder what I am even going on for. Then my day ends with a little lady grabbing my hand and whispering in my ear that she loves me. She might tell me she wants me fired tomorrow but for now she loves me. This, this is what I show up to work for each and every day. I am here to ensure that the little lady, who does not remember who her husband is, has a good day and that she goes to sleep knowing somehow she is loved in some way. My job each day is for the man that I care for to know he will not need to worry about how he is getting to his appointments. For now this is my purpose. My purpose is to care for these people who are at a vulnerable stage in life and for now that is what I must be content with.
For any of those searching for their purpose try to take solace in knowing that you are living your purpose if you are striving. You are living your purpose if you are running towards the Lord.
