So I was having a conversation with a friend over facetime, who just got home from an eight-week journey in DC, where she spent a lot of time trying new things and having new experiences. This talk on facetime was very enlightening to me because I have spent a lot of time this summer trying to find who I am and what my purpose on this earth. As I was listening to all her experiences, I kept thinking to myself "I wish I had this same experience."
I really want to know who I am and what I am here for. I know that there are a lot of things that I am good at and that there are a lot of people on this earth that benefit from the helping hand that I have to offer. Finding yourself doesn't happen in one day, or even two, but it takes a lifetime to really find who you are. When I was talking to Jeanine on facetime she kept telling me how she found herself so much this summer, but that was really just the beginning of it all.
I spent some time in the classroom today, at my old elementary school with one of my favorite teachers. I was helping her organize her classroom before she has to get back to work, and it was so fun. It was weird to be back at the school that I attended for so many years, seeing how much life has changed since I went there, but I love helping other people, especially Miss. Jones. She has done so much for me in the past few years of my life, it felt so great to be able to give back to her. Spending so much time in the classroom is definitely how I am finding myself nowadays. I find a lot of my purpose in Christ and in helping others.
