Aligning with God's Purpose

In Monday's post I shared that in March 2005, while on a plane to Jamaica, God asked me a question that would echo in my spirit for years: “Are you living an abundant life?”

At first, I wrestled with the question, assuming it stemmed from my sense of burnout and unease. I was overworked, undervalued, and stretched thin. At the time, I thought the answer lay in doing more—traveling, forming friendships, and embracing new experiences. On that trip to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, I convinced myself that abundant life must mean pursuing joy through outward actions.
