This question struck me when, during a highlight on his life on Saturday, Apolo introduced the challenge to ask yourself this question at the end of every day. As he stated, it is very difficult to be able answer with a yes every day. Certainly we are not all striving for Olympic medals, but we all have a purpose to be living for. As a Christian the core to this is a higher purpose. God does not expect us to not fail and fall down, but He desires and calls us to devote ourselves wholeheartedly pursue Him and the opportunities He fills each day with.

Where to Begin?
So many thoughts in my head and decisions to begin making in the upcoming weeks. Practicum and internship decisions. Finalizing education decisions. Moving plans. Basically a lot of unscrambling and coming together of plans, and plans yet to be, is what will be on my plate. It’s easy for me to become overwhelmed with it all and question where my true desires lie as I sort through each step, but I remain excited about where this year will lead despite its mystery. We will see!
