Branding Yourself Without Knowing Your God-Given Purpose

Understanding your purpose can take time and dedication. Dedication in the Lord's word and your relationship with Him. Even those who hold a degree or five degrees can come out of college still not knowing who they are nor their God-given purposes. I decided to blog about this, not because I haven't blogged in a while but because this is  a subject I am currently struggling with. As a recent graduate my life has definitely changed. The stress of trying to enter the job market and the demands of making a name for myself has caused me to reevaluate the path that I have taken.

Not to mention that my degree is in communications and public relations which puts even more stress on developing my brand. And for the past month and a half I have spent countless hours trying to find a job that "sounds" like something I would be interested in pursuing. I've also read many article on finding my niche in the pr industry. Going back and forth with myself on what is my brand? What sets me apart from others? Why should employers hire me? And to be honest I couldn't come up with anything. I may have a degree under my belt but that doesn't mean anything when you don't know what God's purpose for your life.

In Proverbs 19:21 it says that "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Meaning that you can have all the degrees in the world, and have the vision of your life laid out for the next five years but your plans have nothing on God's genuine purpose for your life. As I sit here right now I realize that I will not go any further in my quest trying to find my "niche" because many people can create a brand for themselves but with that, there is still no satisfaction. And I want to be satisfied. I want to wake up each day excited to go to work and to be at peace with the path God has given me. So with that being said stop spending long nights trying to figure you out. You are already figured out by God just allow Him to build you up and set you apart.


Thank you Lord for revelation.
