Purpose

Those who are closest to me know that I have been having some pretty sacred experiences over the last six weeks, as I have asked and learned what my purpose and my role is.

There is a great amount of peace that comes with knowing what your purpose is and an immense amount of peace that comes with being all-in with Heavenly Father and having courage to take steps every day to live up to that purpose.

This quote is SO true.

When you find your purpose, every piece of ourselves becomes functional!!

I have had experiences in my life (throughout my life) that have been due to my own poor choices (lessons), other people's agency, AND just because I needed to have them.

Those experiences and accompanying knowledge are providing me with the opportunity to bring light to those who are in darkness.

I've been in that darkness:

The bottom of the human ravine. 

The darkest of dark.

I know what that feels like.

I know what seeking hope and help from the WORLD is like.

I also know what seeking only the Father and His Son feels like now.

The difference isn't even comparable.

Two of my boys have this weird contraption called an "oculus." 

I think that's how you spell it...

It's this virtual reality thing you put on your eyes. 

You have things that you hold with your hands.

You are in a separate reality - fighting zombies or dancing or fighting battles.

So, picture this:

You are in your living room.

The furniture is right where it was when you put this oculus on your head.

Nothing has changed, except that you have put yourself, willingly, into an artificial reality.

As things get started, you are moving around and your hands are swinging and reaching.

It is amazing how quickly you completely lose sight of your actual reality - where the furniture is, where the walls are, etc.

You begin running into things.

You begin hitting things.

I watch as they get frustrated with this.

But, nothing actually changed... just their perception.
