"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10

Around the age of 13 I often wondered why God placed me on this planet. My face was blemished, the girl of my dreams did not know my name, and I desperately longed to be a part of the in crowd. Like many kids going through the transition to young adult hood, I wanted to know with certainty that my life counted for something.

20 years later I am sitting here with the stark realization that I was uniquely created for a time such as this. We live in a world where hopelessness abounds. Millions of people around the world are crying out for a meaningful existence that only the healing balm of God’s unchanging love can provide. In response, I have committed my life to declaring to the world that every human life matters to God.

I don’t know what you are passionate about and I know nothing about the dreams that make your heart soar. But God does. In Jeremiah the bible says "I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Are you walking out those plans? Have you discovered your life’s calling? No matter where you are in your journey the fact is that you were created to transform the world! Decide today to become the uniquely wonderful person you were created to be, made by God for good works.
