Bio: Well I could simply tell you that I am forty-two years old, I work full time as a civil engineer, I'm married with three children, and have a very loving cat. But does that really tell you about me? It may give you a snapshot of my life story at this moment; however, once upon a time my life story was filled with snapshots that were much different. We are called to share our life story with others. Psalm 107:2 says "Let the people redeemed by God tell their story..." I'm not saying that my life story is all that exciting. Nevertheless, it has still been a journey and defines who I am today. So stay tuned. I think it will be good to let you know where I'm coming from. What I can say right now is that I am at stage in life, like so many others, where I keep asking myself "Is this all there is?" In fact, I've been asking myself this question for seven years. Just recently, I decided to hire a life coach to help me develop a clearer vision of God's will for my life. I want to live my calling and I don't believe I am right now. As part of my homework from my first session, my life coach encouraged me to write a blog about what thrills me and brings me joy. I was a little hesitant at first because of the time commitment; but now I am looking forward to getting started and to seeing how it will evolve. Perhaps this blog will lead me to my calling, my purpose. Reverend T.D. Jakes said "If you can't figure out your purpose, then figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you directly to your purpose." So after nearly two months of intentionally trying to discern my passion, I have reached a conclusion. My goal for this blog is to provide sound research, resources, and words of encouragement in the areas of well-being, disease prevention, and Christian faith. I also want to share with you what has worked for me and I hope you will share what has worked for you. Thank you for reading my blog. Your feedback is appreciated.
Be well. Stay well. Have faith.
