On March 26, I posted the first response to this question. Today I'd like to share another in this multi-part series. We're hearing from Karen, a Christian woman. She is my sister and the mother of four.
Karen describes her purpose as an on-going calling that changes as she passes through life's stages. "It may not be something I'm looking for," she says, "but a realization." For Karen, "something clicks, and you feel this is something you should be involved with." She gives an example: perhaps help is needed with the church's meals program for the sick. It occurs to her, "I can do this. This is for me."
Sometimes the realization comes afterward. And Karen reflects that her skills or her experience had placed her in perfect alignment to help for "such a time as this." That she was there "for that purpose."
Have you ever looked back on an event and felt this way? That you were placed here on earth for a particular moment or moments? Or is your experience different?
