The Van Wyk Family Verse

Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy... The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Psalm 126:2-3

Just wondering....

I've been thinking alot lately about how our lives are all so different, and yet we have the common thread of love for each other and committment to our family. What I am wondering about what your "mandate" is from God. What do you believe you personally are called to do to further His Kingdom?


I think about this because I know that many of you ar concerned about our Foster Care journey and how that will affect our family. And that bothered me for awhile. Then I realized this...that just because we are called to love these kids in foster care in our home, doesn't mean that it is for everyone. In fact, it isn't. Because? Because it's not God's mandate on everyone's life. Your mandate is something completely different. Does that make mine wrong? No. Does it make yours wrong? No. It just means that God is using us to further His Kingdom in many different ways. We all have different personalities and different spiritual gifts that we are called to utilize in a variety of ways.


So, tell us....what do you believe your purpose is in this life? What is it that you uniquely are called to do? Put some thought into this and post it up here for all to see. Then we can pray for each other and further His Kingdom together.
