Do you ever wake up crying because you don’t know where you fit in the world? Because you didn’t know even why you’re here? Most of what happens in life is not explained. We’re just told that this is how it is, so deal with it.

If only we were given more evidence on why we were created than instructions on what to do after we are created!Whether it’s because of a “Big Bang” or Adam and Eve, we are here. If you’re reading these words or if you’re listening to someone else read them to you, you are alive—regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman, an atheist or a believer, or a Christian or a non-Christian.

None of us will be able to escape life without the final destination of death, so while we’re here, we might as well live out our purpose. With that being said, we’ll have many challenges that will test our faith, our families, and our finances.

Some days, we will ask for prayers not to wake up, and other days we’ll ask for prayers of abundance of joy. The following words are intended to inspire us to live, to love, to learn, and to strip away the lies, labels, and layers that prevent us from doing those things.
