UNKNOWN. Purpose.
Submission. Change. Faith. All of these words define the last several years of my life.
My name is Jason Daniel. Lost in my own self-focused life, I struggled greatly with questioning my true purpose. My professional background consisted of nearly twenty years in the marketing industry and has recently taken a 180 degree turn. By God’s grace and timing, He has changed my path in life, from a unfulfilling career in marketing, to a purposed-filled life in spreading the truth.
It was 2012. I was sitting behind my desk in pure misery. I couldn’t stand my job, my boss, or the direction my career was taking. All I could think about is how unfulfilling my life was and that I could no longer continue down this path. Ironically, I had it all - a good paying job, a wife and son, nice house, nice cars, vacations, etc. How could I be so miserable? And you would think my constant praying would bring immediate change. However, it did not. The only change that occurred was that God had placed compassion on my heart for marriages. My wife and I had numerous friends and family members go through divorces and I had been extremely bothered but had no idea what to do. God had began to work in my life without me knowing. Fast forward to 2014. Much had changed; I had started a business and my wife had been given a great opportunity at a local company. Things were looking up. However, it was short lived and God began to reveal a new plan; a major change. I closed up shop and started a graduate program in psychology, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. A year in, I realized this was not where God wanted me. Even so, God’s hand quickly aligned PERFECTION and placed someone in my life that helped direct me to the correct path. I quickly enrolled in a Biblical Counseling program. At this point, I knew this was my calling and I totally submitted my life to the Lord. Everything changed. God tested my faith, for what seemed like everyday, for the past 6 years. I have never had so many trials and tests in all my life - He had been preparing me for His work. The changes He has made have been nothing short of amazing, and it all has placed me right here. And that is the purpose of this blog - to share what God has done (and is currently doing) in my life and what he has done in other people’s lives, in hopes that these experiences and miracles will help you as well.
Please join me, just a regular person who had lost his way, who still struggles at times, yet has found the answer to our true purpose and the problems we face everyday.
Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.
Psalms 25:4 (NIV)
