I don’t remember too much of the lesson, but we were suppose to write our calling and purpose and I had no idea what those were.[/vc_column_text][dt_gap height="10"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At 15, I remember being at a youth convention and the speaker was talking about finding your calling and passions in life. I remember praying and asking the Lord to tell me what I was supposed to do with my life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][dt_gap height="5"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]That day, I heard Him speak to my spirit and I remember hearing very clearly, “write.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][dt_gap height="5"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At 15, I didn’t know what writing would look like or what I would write, but it had always been a dream and passion.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][dt_gap height="5"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]15 years later I sat in my dear friends’ home and on the card I write under callings: “To write…something?

When you give yourself completely to God, He ignites a passion not for your gifts, but for Him and in that passion, the overflow of you heart will be poured out in the gifts He has given, purposed and called you to.Above all, He wants not only your heart, but your fellowship. Love without relationship will not fuel your passions.Desire God, delight in His truth and He will give you desires that surpass your imagination.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][dt_gap height="20"][dt_fancy_title title="You are His Beloved," title_align="center" title_size="normal" title_color="default" el_width="70" title_bg="disabled" separator_color="default"][dt_gap height="10"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row margin_top="0" padding_left="40" padding_right="40" bg_position="top" bg_repeat="no-repeat" bg_cover="false" bg_attachment="false" padding_top="40" padding_bottom="40" parallax_speed="0.1" bg_type="theme_default" bg_grad="background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #FBFBFB), color-stop(50%, #E3E3E3), color-stop(100%, #C2C2C2));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);" bg_color_value="#ecf6f5" parallax_style="vcpb-default" bg_image_repeat="no-repeat" bg_image_size="cover" bg_img_attach="fixed" parallax_sense="30" viewport_vdo="viewport_play" enable_controls="display_control" bg_override="0"][vc_column width="2/3"][dt_gap height="20"][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1405349734509{padding: 20px !important;background-color: #ecf6f5 !important;border-color: #ec97ba !important;border-style: dotted !important;}"]
