"young" ADULTS What?! What?!

Everyone has something that their heart breaks for...mine happens to be YOUNG adults. The "overlooked" stage in life.

No. I'm still all about my teenagers, BUT I had to give a quick shout out to the aspiring adults out there.

I can remember all too well my first job after my 150k+ education.

I graduated from college and spent the summer with friends, traveling, laughing, and goofing off. One last party before REAL life hit.

I call this stage in life UNEMPLOYED/HOMELESS!

BUT I was happy, really happy.

Then the money ran out and so did the good times. I was now looking at loans, debt, and STRESS!

So I applied, interviewed, and was hired at Enterprise Rent-A-Car! B-A-L-L-I-N!!!

I remember being told that I had to wear a suit... and shave my beard... and WASH CARS! Say What! Wash Cars? Yes, I had to get up everyday at 6AM with my nice suit and tie and wash cars.

But I was working, right? Wrong... I was surviving. I think I made $450 a week, and I worked something like 90 hours (kidding, but it was a lot)!

I had NO idea what I really wanted to do.

I spent 7 months working at Enterprise before I started to feel like there HAD TO BE MORE to life.

Have you ever had this moment in your life? Have you ever asked yourself why you stay at your job if you HATE it?

WE ALL DO. Don't feel bad.

My greatest fear is dedicating a huge portion of my life to something, only to look back and be unsatisfied with it.

Have you ever asked yourself if GOD has something better for you?

Have you ever reflected on the gifts He has given you?

Does it make you nervous? Anxious? Or do you feel nothing at all?

God has made numerous promises to us in the bible and throughout history. Equipping us with the right set of tools to fulfill His purpose for our lives.

His purpose...

Yes, we tend to lean away from His purpose and blaze our own path. Sometimes straying away from our gifts and trying to justify our pursuit of temporary things. Temporary things that our culture says are important.

My advice for today: Take the time to identify Gods gifts for your life. What are you naturally gifted at? Can you build a life around your gifts? Does this create purpose?

My hope for you is to not look back on your life ten years from now and say "Oh Crap! How did I get here?"

I hope you define your gifts and apply them to your life creating a picture of your future. AND if it is still unclear, at least it will point you in the right direction... His Purpose.

Keep It Real.
