Inspiration for a better future lies in a secret experience from your past which will energize your present and clearly define your future.

You’ve been busy lately. You’ve sought for a new direction, because for the first time in your life you really want the years ahead to count. My hope for you is, as you read of my experience, you will be inspired to take a similar path and make your future years the most meaning-filled of your life.

In keeping with the biblical direction to “Ask and ye shall receive” I have recently given time to finding real meaning in my life, eventhough I should have completed this task years ago.

I’ve made an amazing discovery.

Your life, and mine, is filled with a series of what I have called Refining Moments. In the middle of these is one KRM or Key Refining Moment. When discovered this KRM brings a flood of understanding of the meaning for your life and enables you to release a special talent to be a blessing to others.

In my morning prayer time in the forest at the back of our home I had been asking the Lord, for some months, to reveal the meaning and purpose for my life. Once I was prepared to wait forever for an answer,it came. In a most unexpected way. Some have said that you should be careful what you pray because sooner or later you will get what you pray for. I did.

I was reminded of an experience I had just after my fourth birthday.

Filled with expectation my mother was taking me to the State Fair. A visit to the Animal Nursery was promised and once again I’m back there, getting off the tram, with a beaming smile, being led by the hand to the ticket office where my Mother purchases our tickets.

I can see the bulls in the main arena and the colored tents in sideshow alley. I hear the drums summoning patrons to new and exciting experiences inside the tents.

And now I see a group of kids. Some in wheelchairs. Some standing. But all with bodies twisting and twitching in ways I had never seen before. Noticing my rising alarm, my Mother tells me they are the special kids from the Spastic Center.

As she explains that they will always be that way I begin to sob. Buckets of tears cascade down my little pink cheeks as I think of their suffering. I fall to the ground sobbing even harder unable to control myself.

I feel a pain deep on the inside and I want to get away from this place. I plead with my Mother to take me home. It seems to take a long time but eventually she walks me back to the tram terminus.

As we begin the journey home one thought floods my mind.

I want to help make them better.

As I return, across 53 years of life experience, from my time of reflection on the past, I realize that my central desire is still to help make them better.

I havn’t done it yet but I want to. There is a fire in my desire.

I have been a bank teller, an economist, a teacher, and a youth worker but still I havn’t gotten started. I’m sad I’ve yet to start. I guess that’s a common experience for a babyboomer. However I am glad I discovered why I’m here on this planet.

In this Key Refining Moment I have understood my reason for being and the only action that will add real meaning to my life.

I have been inspired to fulfill my calling to “help make them better”.

You can have your own Key Refining Moment. In earnest prayer ask and you will receive. Once you’ve received make sure to follow through and complete your special calling.

You will get inspiration for a lifestyle improvement .Use your secret experience from your past and it will energize your present and clearly define your future with wave upon wave of meaning.

You will finally have an answer to the age-old question, “What is the meaning of life?”

The longer you remain a Christian single, the more often you’ll end up as a bridesmaid in your friends’ weddings. You’re probably familiar with this scenario: it’s midnight on Friday night. You’re just putting down your book and getting ready to turn off the lights and crawl into bed when the phone rings.

“Guess what?” your friend exclaims, “he proposed tonight! I’m getting married!” You feel mixed emotions at the news. Naturally you are excited for your friend, who finally broke out of the Christian single world and into married life, the life you have both been dreaming of together. But now you’ll keep dreaming - with one less friend to share the misery with - and maybe one less friend all together; married friends are always too busy to remember you any more.

“And I want you to be a bridesmaid, of course!” she continues. Your mind begins to reel with a variety of thoughts and feelings. First there’s the expense. Will she try to be economical when she chooses the dress? Will she make you buy matching shoes too? What about hair and nails? Your eyes turn to your closet as you contemplate the other four dresses hanging in the back - will she choose the color of the rainbow you are missing to make your bridesmaid dress collection complete?

Then there’s the old superstition about three times a bridesmaid… you figure after four times, you can’t really do any more harm - can you? You can’t help but think to yourself, “here we go again - another wedding that I’m in, but not as the bride…” When will it be your turn? Once you have been a bridesmaid so many times, it’s hard not to feel a little bitterness towards the whole event.

As a veteran bridesmaid myself, I’m here to tell you there’s hope at the end of the aisle. It’s not easy to watch as your friends have their dreams fulfilled while you are still waiting, but in doing so, God is at work. He’s preparing you for your own special future, and you have the choice to work with or against Him.

First, you are probably feeling both joy and jealousy for the bride. Remember that jealousy involves a lack of thankfulness for what God has given you and a lack of faith and hope in what He will be doing in the future. As a Christian single, God wants you to find contentment and joy in all circumstances, give thanks without ceasing, and have hope for your future. Your day will come - if not on earth, then in heaven at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-9). The words of Paul to the Thessalonians are perfect for the Christian single, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Second, you know that at the end of the day when the bride rides off with the groom and it is time to go home to your empty apartment or hotel room, that you will be battling loneliness. Now that you don’t have the fun of the party to distract you, there is now plenty of time to allow your thoughts to drag you down into despair. It is this time that you must cling to the hope that God has a future for you too, “‘For I know the plans I have for you’, declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11). Invite some other Christian single friends over after the wedding to distract you from loneliness and encourage you to hope in the Lord and what He is doing in your life.

There are perks for the Christian single “professional bridesmaid”. When I got married, my wedding ran very smooth because I had witnessed so many other weddings and taken notes on what worked and what not to do. But the most important reason to be encouraged is because it means you have lots of friends who care about you and want you to be part of the most important day of their lives. So just keep on in your faith. My banner verse as a Christian single is one for you to take to heart on your friend’s wedding day, “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart”. (Psalm 37:4).

Life is not always a bed of roses,so it’s no coincidence when u meet with misfortunes or even disasters.They are meant to happen to anyone if not everyone,but it is meant to put the person on the path of greatness and not destruction.Some people are not willing to face trials,they just want to get to the top witout being confronted.Although people say life is unfair,but if you do everything you’re expected to do;in a right way;you will see that there’s nothing unfair about life.

As you pass through life,there is no how you wont meet with obstacles,but while ignorant people grumble and mourn about the situation,determined and wise people use the obstacles as stepping stones to their success and greatness.

Life is not all about winning,you can’t win all the time but you can really bring out the best in you.There are points in life when you feel like a complete failure,never let it weigh you down,get up and do what you have to do,just to achieve that goal.In this game called life,caring about what people think,feel or say about you can really deter your dreams if you are on the right path.It is normal for people to dislike you,it is not possible for everyone to love you,but if you do worry about it,then you will only be making the matter worse.You dont fail over night,instead,failure is a few errors in judgement repeated everyday.You may have failed many times,but you are not a failure until you accept defeat and begin to blame someone else for your predicament.Those who don’t like you,no matter what they do,let them know that they can’t stop you.

Life is full of surprises,both good and bad,so,whatever you do,you need courage to take everything that comes.Whatever course you decide upon,there’s always someone to tell you that you are wrong.There are always difficulties arising,and they sometimes tempt you to believe that critics are right.You cannot become enormously successful without encountering and overcoming a number of extremely challenging problems.One of the greatest discoveries a man makes,which turns out to be a great surprise,is to find that he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.

All that matters in life is how you feel about yourself.Remember that only through experience of trials and suffering can the soul be strenghtened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved.Leaving old pains behind is the key to a new life,if you don’t release it,it won’t let you continue with your life.Just try it and see how you feel.Everything is ok in the end.If it is not ok,then it is not the end.
