Welcome!

I’m glad you’re here. This blog was a long time the making, but it was purposed for such a time as this - just as you are supposed to be here, reading this right now. Purpose Above is a collaborative space to talk and learn about Jesus Christ and all He has done and continues to do for us, both as unique individuals and together as His Church. The Christian faith is not based on rules or religion, but on a relationship with Jesus, and the goal of this blog is to help us all learn more about the God who loves us so dearly - and as a result, learn more about ourselves as His children.

All I can say is that once (and not too long ago), I was lost. I felt confused, alone, anxious, and afraid. But I drew near to Jesus, and the Lord in His mercy didn’t require me to clean myself up first; He did all of that for me with a gentleness and love that I have never known. Now I can say with utter certainty that I am now found and chosen; that I am never alone and never abandoned; that I can cast my fears and anxiety into hands far stronger and more capable than my own. My life is not always sunshine and rainbows, but with the Lord to eternally lean on, I’ve learned that rain makes things grow, and storms only make my faith stronger. It is my sincere prayer that you will find the light, life, and love of God in these pages, and that you will leave with new thoughts, new perspectives, and a refreshed spirit.

I look forward to growing with you.
