Lately, I have had one thought & one strong burning desire-- make a difference. Whether that be in one single person's life or in hundreds...I want to abundantly impact some one's life. In the past few months I have felt more personal growth and change than I have throughout my entire life (I think it's safe to say I'm finally growing up.) Maybe the amount of growth & change is God's way of preparing me to fulfill my desire to make a difference. Is it weird that living in NYC (where religion is scarce) I feel the closest to God...? He's so obvious to me here, but I feel like the city is just blind. In a place filled with so many people it's actually pretty easy to feel alone, but I rest confidently knowing that I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I don't know the answers to the who, what, when, or where questions in life, so I'm just going to treat each interaction I have as a divine appointment.
Reflecting back on life....even as recent as last week, last month, or last year...I can pick out the stepping stones God has laid out for me. I feel like I used to try to make everything work according to "Sharra's plan" or what I thought I wanted. I can't even begin to explain how much weight has been lifted off of my shoulders just learning to take life one day at a time, go with the flow, follow faith, and treat each day as a new beginning. I don't know where life is headed, but I know it's somewhere grand. I refuse to settle for less than God has planned-- so each day I will embrace new people, new places, & new ideas...because each new day holds the possibility of changing some one's world.
