How to Pursue Your Purpose

Hello family! I used to believe that one’s purpose was their livelihood and passion. But as I started pursuing my purpose in my thirties, I discovered that it meant so much more. It is linked to my identity and calling which gave my life a deeper meaning. Not only does it provide a sense of self, but it serves others and honors God.

“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 NKJV

   I remember praying many times, asking Him to reveal my purpose and it seemed like my prayer wasn’t answered. I began to feel overwhelmed, thinking that He had no purpose for me because I was shy, quiet, and socially awkward. I have come to realize that every season of my life has been preparation for my purpose.

He genuinely has our best interests at heart, and we need to trust the process and the plan to help us achieve our destiny. Sometimes the process might seem challenging or uncertain, but having faith in the plan and the person behind it can make a big difference. This brings me to the message that I would like to share with you all on how to pursue your purpose.

The first step for me was to commit to living a life that pleases God and allow Him to guide my steps on my purpose journey.  Committing to a purpose-driven life isn’t easy. It is filled with both challenges and growth.  You must decide to leave the old you behind, patterns of thinking, and life habits, and embrace the person he has called you to be. He will prepare you with the character and wisdom necessary to fulfill your purpose at the right time.

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Romans 12:2 NKJV  

Next, you must align your life with your purpose. My purpose was revealed the more time I spent with God through prayer and meditating on His word. When I decided to commit my life to Him, he began to connect the dots of my past and present to my purpose. He is waiting for you to surrender your will and say yes to walking in your purpose.

“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 NKJV

In addition, you must let go of fear. I must admit that when God revealed my purpose to me, I was fearful and in denial that I was the person called to fulfill it. It involved using the one thing that I avoided the most, which was my voice. At times I still feel that I’m unworthy of the purpose and plan that God has for my life, but I’m learning to silence the noise of my negative thoughts. I am reminded that His grace is sufficient in my weakness and that my purpose is much bigger than me.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.”

2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

Last, if you’ve ever felt discouraged about your purpose, don’t be afraid because you were created specifically for it. This scripture encourages me to keep walking in my calling when I get discouraged and I hope that you are too.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged about your purpose, remember that you were created specifically for it. This scripture inspires me to stay true to my calling even in challenging times, and I hope it encourages you too. May you stay motivated and steadfast in the pursuit of your unique purpose.

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 1:6 NKJV

 All you must do is say YES to your purpose, and He will do the rest.

Live Purposefully,

“I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle.

The wise sometimes goes hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It’s all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.”

Ecclesiastes 9:11 NLT

Hello family! I don’t know who needs encouragement today, but I felt led to share this scripture with anyone who might be facing an uncomfortable and difficult stage in their journey to the promise.

I understand that during this season, you may feel overwhelmed and as though God is not present. It might seem like everywhere you turn, everyone else’s time has come to live out their dreams.

In times like these, I’ve learned to seek God more, and He reminds me through scriptures and inspirational messages that He is there and that his favor will help me navigate through the difficult season.

We must not get distracted by what we see happening around us or how far along others are on their life path. God is in control, so we must let go of what is beyond our control. Keep your eyes on the promise.

There is an appointed time for your suffering to end and for the promise to be fulfilled. If we trust in Him, He will reveal the purpose behind every experience, give us the strength to endure the journey, and equip us with the wisdom to embrace the promise.

Be blessed,

Ronni Lauren💗

“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.”

~Audrey Hepburn

Hi Sassy Squad! I found a quote that truly resonated with me and wanted to share it with you. The key takeaway is that elegance is both timeless and unforgettable.

Elegance is the art of graceful behavior paired with a unique style that exudes confidence and poise. Your inner beauty is reflected in how you present yourself to the world, leaving a lasting impression on everyone you meet.

In a world of look-alikes and unrealistic beauty standards, stay true to yourself. Embrace every flaw and quirk you have. Remember, you were meant to stand out and shine, demonstrating to others what positive influence and authenticity look like.

Keep it Classy!

“The true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.”

~Audrey Hepburn

Hello Sassy Squad! I came across this quote today and just had to share it with you. How many of you have heard the saying “beauty is only skin deep”? I must admit that I never truly understood the deeper meaning of this saying until I was in my thirties. Looking back, I remember comparing myself to others and feeling like I was weird and unattractive because I didn’t fit into the world’s standards of beauty. I was tall and skinny, with almond-shaped eyes and a crooked smile.

Now I understand that being unique was only a part of my beauty. The true essence of beauty is in how you interact with others and present yourself to the world. It’s about being unapologetically authentic, even when societal norms are pressuring you. I’ve realized that how we take care of ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally is reflected in the way we show up in the world.

You should be loved in the same way you love others, as happiness comes from within and shines outward. Embracing your genuine beauty and revealing your true self can have a great impact in the world around you. Are you ready to embrace your true beauty and make a difference with me today?

Live fabulous!

“For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”

2 Timothy 1:7 KJV

Hello family! This scripture has been placed on my heart to share with someone who may be letting fear hold them back from achieving the dreams that God has placed in their heart or living a life of peace and freedom that He intended for them to live. He desires us to live fearlessly , be our best selves, and embrace abundance and beauty of life.

Even in our weakest moments, God’s love and the Holy Spirit empower us to wholeheartedly follow His ways and teachings. Trusting in Him enables us to live without fear, as He has given us the power, love, and a sound mind to overcome it. By choosing faith over fear, we can boldly live as our authentic selves. Who’s ready to embrace faith over fear with me today?

Live fearless,

Hi, Sassy fam! I found this quote today and just had to share it with you. It serves as a reminder to refocus on the dreams and promises God has placed in my heart. I hope that it motivates you to do the same.

Be intentional about the steps you take toward making your dreams a reality. Your happiness and future depend on it. Every step you take toward your dream brings you closer to becoming the person you were meant to be and living the life you were meant to live.

You are Loved…

“Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.”

Song of Songs 8:6 NIV

Hello family! I don’t know who needs to hear this but remember that God loves you fiercely and relentlessly. This scripture is another example of the depth of God’s love and the extent of His commitment to us. His love is strong, reassuring, protective, and infinite.

This model of true love should guide our lives and how we treat others. I’m grateful to finally know its meaning and eager to share it with you. We are connected to His love forever when we surrender our will and open our hearts to receive it. Through His love, we can conquer all obstacles and challenges in life. Only through Him we can live in perfect peace and fulfill our purpose.

How To Hear the Voice of God

Hello family! Lately, God has put me in a season where I must trust him with all my heart and depend solely on him to get me through any obstacle that I am facing.  I’ve been more intentional about releasing worry and anxiety by praying to God about situations that cause me stress and that are beyond my control. I am learning to seek to hear only God’s voice when I am unsure of which direction or path to take next because it affirms and gives me clarity. This brings me to the message that I would like to share with you today on how to hear God’s voice.

The first thing that you must do to hear His voice is to quiet your mind and eliminate distractions by meditating on His Word. Reading devotionals and finding relevant scriptures that minister to your situation or problem can help you apply the Word to your life.

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.”

Joshua 1:8 NKJV

Second, you must stay in his presence through prayer and worship. Prayer is a way to communicate with God, while worship is a way to show reverence and gratitude for His blessings. Whenever I make it a priority to pray and worship Him, my burden is lifted and my faith is elevated to a new level.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

Philippians 4:6 NKJV

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

John 4:24 NKJV

Thirdly, open your heart and ask God to purify it of anything that may hinder your mind from receiving His messages. When I ask the Lord to renew my heart, I can release unforgiveness and redirect my focus on Him.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

Psalms 51:10 NKJV

Make sure you are open to receiving his messages and write down what he reveals to you. By keeping an open mind and being prepared to receive his messages, you can unlock valuable insights that may otherwise go unnoticed. Don’t forget to jot down what he reveals to you – that way, you’ll be able to refer to these revelations later and fully integrate them into your life.

Lastly, to recognize God’s voice and distinguish it from your thoughts, remember that His voice brings peace, and healing, shapes your future, and gives you hope and promise.

“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”

I Corinthians 14:33 NKJV

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Be Blessed,

After the Rain…

“The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom”.

Deuteronomy 28:12-13 NIV

Hello, everyone! This scripture was laid on my heart to share with someone who may be going through a difficult time and needs encouragement. The start of spring has brought me a lot of challenges. I have struggled to adapt to changes and navigate through uncertainties on my journey. During those times when I feel overwhelmed and like I’m losing my faith, God continues to remind me that He is my peace and source of strength. He has revealed to me that the rain I’ve experienced in my life through disappointments and painful experiences was necessary for my spiritual and mental growth.

 Just as rain is a necessity for plants to bloom, it’s vital for us to endure such difficult times to develop into the person God intended us to become. As I progress through this season, I will clear my mind and consider this time as a new beginning and rebirth. I am motivated and enthusiastic about the direction that God is leading me towards and the type of woman I am evolving into. Please remember that even when everything seems to be going wrong, we must trust in Him to guide us towards the promise.

Be blessed,

Ronni Lauren💋

He has Risen! He is Our Strength!…

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:20 NKJV

Hello family and Happy Resurrection Day! I hope everyone had a great day with their family, friends, and loved ones. Let us take time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and his continued presence in our lives. This scripture was laid on my heart to share as a reminder that God is our source of strength to navigate life’s challenges and achieve anything. All we need to do is express our desires, remain grateful, surrender our will, and trust in him to bring them to life. Reassurance from the Holy Spirit within us gives us the strength to overcome all obstacles and succeed. Whenever it feels like God’s presence is absent and I start to lose faith in a situation or circumstance working out in my favor, I am reminded that He is working behind the scenes on my behalf. He turns everything around in a way that surpasses my imagination.

Be Blessed,

Ronni Lauren💋
