Have you ever wondered what your life would have been like if your parents were different? If you had grown up rich? Or in another country? Maybe you've struggled with why God seemed to allow certain things to happen to you in your life. You've found yourself weighed down by something in your past. This week, we'll look at some of those issues as they relate to living a life of purpose. We'll talk about how God takes everything in our lives: our passions, our desires, our abilities, and yes, even our upbringing, and uses those elements to shape us into the person he has created us to be.
