Yearning for a Meaningful Simplicity

I've found myself yearning for a more deeply-moving life. Have you ever read a novel or watched a film that put you in a reflective move once the story was finished being told? That's the mood I've found myself in today, yearning for something more.

The simple life can be incredibly meaningful, but I find myself hoping to make history. I don't want to start one event and have my name be associated with a single action, but with a lifelong fight for something better. I want to be involved in people's lives, free of my own personal fears, impacting the way that they are able to go about their lives.

I've felt a calling to something larger than myself my entire life, but I'm still not exactly sure how that will play out over the course of the next years of my life. I hope to fight for something, to be a beautiful beacon of God's light on the world. I want to write, and dance, and speak the thoughts and tell the stories that are going to be more than a blip on the world's radar.

I don't want to be a salesperson, or make money just to spend it on myself and buy our family more things that we don't need. I want simplicity, but an impactful simplicity that allows me to give more of myself to my family and my community.

I want to be able to breathe fresh air, surrounded by the people I love, and live a life of adventure and comfort. I don't want my life to have to be summarized in an obituary in the local paper. I want the world to know what God enabled me to do throughout my life.

I pray and hope that my life will mean more than my daily activities. I plead to God to give me the opportunities that will allow me to show His love on a higher level to a world that is desperately desiring love and acceptance. God smiles on me, and I enjoy the glow of His warmth.

I also pray for you, that you would feel fulfillment in achieving your life's purpose. Everyone's destiny is perfectly tailored to their own personality and desires, so remember that you are capable of achieving even more than your wildest dreams.
