Finishing Well: Your Calling Has No Expiration Date

When we hear the words finishing well, we may think primarily about old age or the final years of life. But finishing well does not begin when we retire. It begins much earlier—with the decisions we make today.

Call to Adventure: Lessons from Moana

God Has a Unique Purpose for Your Life

Have you ever stopped to consider that there has never been, and never will be, another person exactly like you? Your fingerprints are unique. Your personality is unique. Your experiences, relationships, struggles, joys, disappointments, gifts, and opportunities are unique. But your uniqueness is about much more than personality or background. It is about God’s design and purpose for your life.

God’s Calling and Your Legacy

Each person is uniquely gifted by God to contribute to the world, and neglecting to fulfill this role diminishes the collective whole. In later life stages, finding purpose involves a change of heart and perspective rather than a job change. Discovering one's calling is a continuous process, requiring practice, mentors, and adaptability. It's a journey marked by intentional decisions, failures, and the pursuit of mastery in certain areas, encompassing one's entire life.

It’s Tuesday Morning…and Some of Us Are Off To Work.

“What are we daring to attempt which could not be accomplished without His strength and intervention? So often we plan our lives around what we could do without Him on our own.  A sure sign that we are in communion with the Lord is that we are attempting what only He can do? Can you identify that in your life?”
