Your Mission

God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you in my prayers at all times. -- Romans 1:9-10 NIV

Candy Lightner founded MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) in 1980 after her daughter, Cari, was killed by a repeat drunk driving offender. Cindy Lamb—whose daughter, Laura, became the nation’s youngest quadriplegic at the hands of a drunk driver—soon joined Candy in her crusade to save lives. The organization has grown into one of the most well-known and respected non-profits in the world. Through legislation it has pushed, it has saved over 27,000 lives.

It started small. Just a few people fed up at a problem that had personally affected them. Thirty years later it has become something those charter members never dreamed...it has become what God called it to be.

Guess what? YOU have a mission too! In fact, you will have many missions over the course of your life. Some will take very little time. Some will require a life-long amount of effort. Your mission, right now, is the thing you are passionate about. It's the thing you can't seem to get away from. It is what is growing out of the latest trial in your life...and what you have learned from it. Who knows? Your mission could end up being the next MADD. But even if it isn't, your mission is God-given and sent to you because you are in a unique position to make an impact on the world around you. Relish it. Be content with it. Pray about it. Be blessed from it.
