Me and my Dad were having a discussion the other day about how do you know if God is real. And, how do you know you're purpose. My answer was that I know that God is real because I've felt him for myself. I've felt his spirit. His divine spirit spoke to my human spirit and told me something that I needed to hear so bad. Told me, "You're here for a reason" That was major for me, and the first time I heard from God. I had bee attending UT in Austin. I joined the gospel choir there. I started to go around with them at different events and sing. During one of the events, there was a time when we all were just listening to the music, letting it minster to our hearts. I had always wondered why people acted so crazy in church. Ya'll know what I'm talking about. People running, hollering, jumping up and down.---PAUSE---ok, unless you attend an African American Baptist Church you might not know what I mean. But i know that somebody out there feels me. So, I prayed a prayer that if God was real, he'd show me in a way I would only know. And then it happened! He spoke to me and I had begin to cry! I couldn't stop the tears no matter how hard I tried.

That is the moment I knew that God was real. And I think you find your purpose by asking. I also think that God gives you certain skills and desires of your heart for a reason. But, you have to ask yourself is this the path you want, or is it the path God wants for you.  Meaning, make sure that you want things for the right reasons.

I feel like we also have to be content with the answer we get from God. Everybody isn't meant to be rich. Everybody isn't meant to be famous. But, it's what you do with what you have that counts. Stop always wanting more. That may not be your role on earth. Pray for the desires of your heart, but be content with wherever you're at in your life and the answer that you get.

Acceptance is the hardest part of life.
