Don't Give Up, Someone is Listening: When Purpose and Doubt Meets

This week was one of those weeks where I was just questioning why do I write these blogs... Why am I doing a podcast...why am I writing these books. I was just in a place of doubt. I was questioning my call and was I REALLY where God wanted me to be. With those thoughts running through my mind. I began to doubt my purpose. Yelp, Ms. Find Peace Within was doubting her purpose. Even with a smile on my face and spreading joy to others, I was waiver in my own calling.

Then I stumbled upon a WORD. You do know God will send His word in many forms. Monday I was listening to some podcasts, many of them were just random podcasters; some I knew and some I was listening to for the first time. As I surfed the Podcast world, I decided to listen to Oprah's Super Soul Sunday podcast. I chose the latest one with Dr. Edith Eva Eger, PhD, a 90 year old Holocaust survivor. She and Oprah had a very intimate conversation about her journey through the Holocaust and the message she wanted people to get from her first book; "The Choice". This is when God spoke, Oprah asked her the question, "What do you want people to get from your book?" Dr. Edith said, "I want people to FIND PEACE WITHIN!"

I almost fell out my seat. I couldn't believe she said that... Find Peace Within. That's my ministry... that's the message I want the world to get from my writings.. that's the message I want people to get from my books, from my blog, from my podcast. I said "Thank You Lord for giving me yet another message of hope... A message of purpose."

Right when I was ready to stop writing, right when I thought my purpose was not what I thought it was... when I was saying what's the point... God sent Dr. Edith Eva Eger through Ms. Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday podcast the message that I needed that day... I can't give up because someone is listening. 😊

What do you do when Purpose and Doubt meets?

1. Pray and ask God to give you an answer
2. Listen when He speaks
3. Move without doubt

Thank you Dr. Eger for giving me the message to continue to Find Peace Within. I've purchased my book "The Choice" by Dr. Edith Eva Eger... get yours I know it will bless you.

Remember to Find Peace Within

Be blessed,
Ms. Lisa
