It's interesting to me how figuring out your purpose changes your priorities. I realize that I have not come close to understanding all there is to know about Sue Rizzo, but I think I have moved a lot closer to the person I am meant to be than the one I was just a short time ago.
Looking back, I see how the choices I made set up the circumstances that taught me the lessons I needed to learn to fulfill my purpose. Should I go to college? Should I quit college and enter the work force? Should I work in a factory or somewhere else? Should I have a long distance relationship? Should I have an abortion? Should I move to California? Should I become a bus driver? Should I work for the union? Should I quit working for the union? Should I start going to church? Should I lead a growth group? Should I play softball? Should I start a blog? Should I have more children? If just one of the answers to those questions changed from the choice I made, my entire life would be different. I would not be sitting here writing this post. I might not be sitting anywhere at all.
What does that have to do with discovering my purpose? Well, it occurs to me that this is where I am and that must be for a reason. Now that I have a better understanding of my purpose I am presented with more choices. Some decisions are easy and clear but others are very difficult. Fortunately, I have faith that regardless of which way I choose I will find my way back to that purpose. So I boldly step into my future with great anticipation, some fear but without any regrets. One way or another, each choice will result in something powerful.
