Why am I here Lord

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands." (Psalm 138:8 ESV)

Do you ever find yourself asking God why you are here? What's your purpose? I know on many occasions I have looked up tomthe heavens and asked these questions. But we all have a plan laid out for us, we just need to be patient while God reveals this plan in His time. We must remember that God's time is different than our time.

This reminds me of my all time favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life. I can surely relate to George Bailey and when I start to think that I don't matter I pray and God always inserts the thought of George Bailey into my mind.  I know He wants me to think about the people I've touched in my life. At the time I thought the encounters were inconsequential. But what would have happened had I not had that encounter?

My Dad turns 77 today. I am one of six children and my dad sacrificed so much for us all and still does. I pray that God continues to bless him because the lives he touches are a little better because of those encounters. Happy Birthday Dad!!!
