What’s your purpose? Why do you do what you? What drives you? What brings you happiness and satisfaction?
We all should have something that wakes us up each day and gives us that extra uumph to get up and do something productive. If things in your world seem “off” or you just don’t feel motivated to do anything, most times its because you are not walking in your purpose. Many people have no clue what “purpose” is let alone what their specific role is. Purpose can be defined as “the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc” or “an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal”. Whoa!!! That’s a lot to try and swallow at one time. It sounds profound and deep and IT IS! However your life’s purpose doesn’t have to be starting a crusade to feed all the homeless and hungry people. It can be something as simple as tutoring students at a local school in your free time or donating to a local non-profit organization. Your purpose should be something that spurs you to action in a positive way.
Over the next few weeks I will spotlighting some DIVAS I have crossed paths with over the years that are walking with purpose. They are working on bettering themselves, their families, their communities and beyond. Are they perfect – far from it! (Smile!!!) But they have recognized a calling within themselves on some scale and have taken the first steps to a journey that will change themselves and those they encounter.
Divas With A Purpose has become a source of inspiration and motivation. It's about women being driven, inspiring, victorious and having a plan of action to become the best them they have been called to be. With collaboration, we are making our way through this thing called life as women, mothers, sisters, and friends.

His Will...His Way...Embrace It! - Part 2
Proverbs 16:9 - "In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps."
"If [we] make God's glory [our] end, and His will [our] rule, He will direct [our] steps by His Spirit and grace." - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
I know I'm not the only stubborn person out there! It's not always submitting to God's way, especially when it seems to totally contradict the plans that you may have already set in place. It takes a lot to humble ourselves and submit to His will and ways for our lives. It took me awhile to get to the point where I could give Him total and ultimate control of my life. I'll admit, I was a bargainer. "Lord, if you do this, then I'll do this." "Well, if you want me to do this, then do you mind doing this..." Honestly, we know how well that turned out!
It took Him knocking me around a few times and bringing me through different experiences to realize that I needed to truly Let Go and Let God in order to fulfill the greatness that He had planned for me already. Once I did, WOW!!! I'm loving the journey that He has me on right now. Walking by faith and continuously praying for clarity and direction is opening so many doors for me. While I may not fully understand the direction that God is leading me in, I am excited about the journey.
I encourage you all to embrace His Will...His Way!!!
