God has a will, a plan for each of us. Psalm 139:16 (NLT) tells
us, You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your
book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Each of us is on this earth for a specific reason. We may not
know it completely right now. We may be in a season of preparation to enter
that calling. But God has a plan for each of us.
Some are called to be pastors and teachers, some doctors,
lawyers. Some to be auto mechanics, electricians, and plumbers.
Some, like myself, are called to be writers.
In Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT), God tells us “For I know the plans I
have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to
give you a future and a hope.”

| Whatever our calling, God will not just throw us into. |
Whatever our calling, God will not just throw us into it, like
throwing a toddler into the pool so he is forced to learn to swim.
He prepares us.
What makes the preparation fun, and at times frustrating, is
that it’s uniquely different for each of us.
One person may go through an entirely different set of life
experiences than me, yet end up as a writer. I think this is another example of
how God cares for us as individuals. He has a unique and personal relationship
with each of us. We are all His favorite child.
And he equips us.
