Why not you???

Yesterday my hometown lost another young person. She was sick her family made the selfless decision to let her go.   There are many people dealing with deep grief, some even wrestling with their own mortality (myself being one of those people) and then you have the ones who wonder "Why her?"  "Why do bad things happen to good people?"  "But how does this happen to someone her age?"  While I was scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook I noticed one post that caught my attention.  Someone asked why not them? Why does God spare someone like him? Someone that isn't doing anything special. Someone that didn't make the best choices in life. Someone that doesn't have a lot of friends.  I thought all night and all morning about what to say to him and one word kept popping in my head, purpose. Everyone has a purpose on this earth but how do you know what your purpose is? That brought up another "p" word. Passion. What is your passion? What do you feel so strongly about in your bones and in your soul that you can almost taste it? What is it that when you think about it or talk about it you almost cry because you are so emotional about it? Mine is helping people. I want to be a counselor an work with military men and women and their families. I want to be a PTSD counselor and also help families deal with the transition of their soldiers coming home from deployments. I also feel very strongly about rehabilitating non-violent criminals and helping them transition back to general popation. I feel that so many people go back to jail because they don't know how to cope outside of jail.  I also want to do something to help abuse victims, especially children. Anything that involves children being treated badly or being neglected touches my heart very deeply and profoundly. I got a little off topic so back to passion. I believe that passion and purpose go hand in hand. God gives you the desire and puts that deep in your heart and once you figure out what it is that lights that fire in your soul you will figure out your purpose.  So while that person is wondering "why not him" I want him to realize there is something left for him to accomplish. God has a purpose for him and a reason that his time on this earth is not done. God wants him to find his passion and fulfill his purpose. How dare any of us waste a single day on this planet not trying. Trying to do our best and trying to be OUR best. We all have a responsibility to live up to out potential and we are all given special gifts and abilities and how ungrateful are we if we don't use those? Every day is a chance to change and a chance to be a better version of the person you were when you go to sleep. Make today count and make  every tomorrow your best day ever. 

Until next time
