Live Your Destiny

One of the reasons we wanted to live in the Iowa Great Lakes region full time was for the access to a wide variety of live music. 

Last year we went to the Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO) concert in Okoboji.  It was a blast and provides what I think is a good thought for us all to remember. 

Randy Bachman’s unwavering passion for music is an inspiring testament to the enduring power of doing what you love.

At 79 years old, he continues to rock the stage, proving that age is no barrier when your heart is invested in your craft.

His dedication serves as a reminder that pursuing your passions can bring joy not only to yourself, but also to those who are fortunate enough to experience your artistry.

Bachman’s commitment to his music speaks volumes about the resilience and fulfillment that come from staying true to one’s creative calling.

By refusing to give up on his musical journey, he not only reaps personal rewards, but also spreads happiness and inspiration to generations of fans.

His story encourages us all to keep pushing forward in the pursuit of our dreams, regardless of obstacles or time.

Don’t give up on pursuing your dreams and living your destiny.  Live your purpose on purpose. 

I’m cheering for you.

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1.  How does Randy Bachman’s enduring passion for music illustrate the importance of staying true to one’s creative calling despite the challenges and passage of time?

2. In what ways can pursuing one’s passions positively impact not only the individual but also the broader community?

Fan into Flame: Embracing Your God-Given Calling

In life, we all possess unique gifts and callings that are meant to shine brightly, illuminating the path not only for ourselves but for those around us.  2 Timothy 1:6-7 reminds us to “fan into flame the gift of God” within us.

This powerful message encourages us to live out our God-given purpose with the spirit of power, love, and self-discipline given to us by God.

Just as Randy Bachman continues to rock the stage with unwavering passion, you too must stay committed to your divine purpose, regardless of the challenges or the passage of time.

Your dedication not only brings personal fulfillment but also spreads joy and inspiration to others.  Remember, age or obstacles are no barriers when your heart is invested in what you love.

So keep pushing forward, keep your flames burning bright, and live out your purpose with relentless faith, knowing that you are equipped and empowered by the Spirit of God.

Be Blessed!
