“The way you see your life shapes your life.” Chapter five of The Purpose Driven Life challenged me to ask a question I’d never really considered: how do I actually view my life? In this reflection, I explore the idea of a “life metaphor,” share the image God gave me a Mosaic River and walk through God’s perspective of life as a test and a trust. If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, or hungry for deeper meaning in your everyday moments, this post is an invitation to see your life through God’s view and discover how that shift can change everything.

This reflection is for the woman who’s doing “all the right things” and still feels a quiet, holy restlessness underneath it all. Anchored in Ephesians 1:11 and Romans 8:6 (MSG), I’m exploring what it means to stop manufacturing purpose and start receiving it—stretching my attention toward God instead of the noise of self-focus, achievement, and constant comparison. Through The Purpose Driven Life, I’m learning that true freedom isn’t found in doing more, but in surrendering deeper, aligning with God’s design, and letting Him define significance from the inside out.
