One-of-a-Kind You!

     Is there something in your life that makes your heart sing? A place you love, a person you love, a ministry you were born to do, a vision or dream not yet realized? The word “enthusiasm” comes from the Greek language and means “God within.” Don’t you love that? If we have passion and enthusiasm for the way God has made us, understanding He has a plan and purpose for our lives, we can be filled with enthusiasm.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

     For as long as God allows us to walk the earth, He has a plan for us. It may not be an easy path or a straight path or one without sorrow and struggle. Each season brings new joy and sorrow and each season brings new dreams, and, hopefully, more wisdom.

     At this particular season of your life what things do you value most? Typically we will place God, family and friends at the top of the list. Beyond those three what tops your list of values? There is no right or wrong answers here. We each place value on different things at different times in different ways. Here are a few ideas and there are hundreds more.

Physical activity

Leisure

Nutrition

Aesthetics

Flexibility

Service

Learning

Humor

Loyalty

Nature

Adventure

     Think about your passions and values and add them to your personality type, your natural talents and the spiritual gifts God has placed on your heart. Putting it together will give you a picture of God’s amazing creative design, one-of-a-kind you!
