Dear Gabriel,
The Old Testament has some of my favorite stories ever in it. Daniel and the Lions Den, Shadrack, Meshac and Abendigo in the fire, David and Goliath, Moses parting the Red Sea, Isaiah's visions, Elijah calling fire down from heaven... The list just goes on and on.
This morning I read about Daniel and the beginning of his story when he was admitted into the kings court. I love Daniel 1:8 where it says 'And he PURPOSED in his heart...'. That phrase just stuck with me. Daniel lived his life on purpose!
Living life on purpose is a powerful concept. The type of woman I am and will become depends on how I decide to live my life daily. We read about all the amazing stories in the scriptures... BUT the power those people achieved truly came from the way they lived in their daily lives. They lived their live's on purpose, so when the MAJOR trials came (that we actually read about) they were the men and women they needed to be to withstand the fire with courage and looking at the obstacle straight in the eye.
Live your life on purpose. Hopefully our posterity generations from now will love reading our stories. Every breath is a moment and gift to receive with an open heart and love for life!
I love you,
Your Mom
