This post was inspired as I was thinking about my daughter Ami.
But it also applies to our sons Michael and Peter.
Your are special and unique.
This applies to all “Believers” in Jesus!
As Tony Evans states in his book, Called for a Purpose,
You exist for God. You are His special creation. He formed you and He made you because He loves you. You have a reason to get up every morning: to fulfill the purpose god has for your life. And it is a great purpose, a wonderful purpose. In fact, God tells you in Jeremiah 29:11 that He has a good plan for you when you seek Him and His will for your life. You’ve heard it before, but let this sink in: God has a good plan for you.
The God who created you for Himself has never made a mistake. His plan for you has no failures or flaws. Yes, you will have to endure trials, but they will work together for good if you love god, draw near to God…experience God.

What dreams do you have?
Dreams Many of us give up on our dreams.
We simply don’t believe they could happen.
Or we learned that they were unrealistic, or others didn’t support us in them.
We need to have dreams and visions. God wants us to think BIG!!
God wants to give you dreams, visions and gifts. They are important and the body of Christ will not be complete if you don’t have them!
Dreams and visions can include: Ministry vision Helping people Relationally-marriage, family Relating to God in certain ways-intimacy Friendships
Purpose motivates your life! Purpose driven Life book.
Purpose produces “Passion” (What excites you…what drives you…what makes you get up in the morning raring to go? Do you get up raring to go? (wait for a response…
When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity…you will begin to live differently. Living in Light of Eternity. Will make a difference how you handle every relationship, task and circumstance.
What makes you tick?
What is your passion, the spark that needs only a little breeze to ignite into a raging fire?
What do you enjoy so much that you’d do it without pay?
What gives you a deep sense of satisfaction and purpose?
What do you feel you are missing in your life?
Remember. Only God and Holy Spirit can make a change in our lives.
Remember: You are unique!
