Aligned: Living with Identity, Purpose, and Destiny

There was a time in my life when everything looked “right.”
I was showing up, working hard, saying yes to good things, but deep down, something still felt off.

It wasn’t that I was lost. I was just misaligned.

That realization set me up for success.

Sometimes we don’t need to find a new path. We just need to pause long enough to see if the one we’re on still lines up with who we are, what we’re made for, and where God is leading us.

That’s where the journey of alignment begins.

🌿 We Were Created for Alignment

We live in a world that praises movement, hustle, progress, and achievement, but rarely alignment.
You can be moving fast and still not be moving in the right direction.

Alignment is different.
It’s when your identity, purpose, and destiny come into rhythm with God’s design.

When your life is aligned with the One who designed you, peace replaces striving and clarity replaces confusion.

When that happens, direction feels less like guessing and more like grace.

That’s why I’m beginning this new 12-week series called Aligned: Living with Identity, Purpose, and Destiny to help us live with intention, not just momentum.

🎯 The Analogy

One day, while meditating through a season of uncertainty, God gave me a simple image: archery.

He showed me that living aligned with Him looks a lot like learning to aim.

🕊 Identity is the person behind the bow. It’s the one who steadies the stance and focuses before releasing the arrow. Who you are shapes how you aim.

🔥 Purpose is the bow itself. It’s the design of your life, shaped by every gift, experience, and even every trial. It’s the unique structure that channels your energy and strength toward impact.

✨ Destiny is the target. It’s the fulfillment of God’s intention for your life, the place where obedience meets purpose, and your story leaves a mark that matters.

When you understand each part, you stop trying to force results and start trusting God’s rhythm.

Because the aim is never about perfection. It’s about alignment.

🌸 One Adjustment at a Time

Think about archery for a moment. Tiny adjustments make all the difference.
The slightest shift in posture or focus changes everything about where the arrow lands.

It’s the same in life.
When we realign our identity with who God says we are, when we use our purpose the way He designed it, and when we trust Him with where we’re aimed, we begin to experience peace and direction again.

Sometimes alignment happens through gentle awareness. Other times, it’s born from tension. But in every case, it’s an invitation back into relationship with the One who designed you.

✨ A 12-Week Journey to Alignment

Over the next few months, we’ll explore what it looks like to live aligned with God’s design:

• Identity — the person behind the bow

• Purpose — the bow itself

• Destiny — the target

• Living the Aim — walking daily in divine alignment

Each week, I’ll share reflections, stories, and journaling prompts to help you slow down, realign, and find your rhythm again.

This first week, I simply want to ask:
🎯 Where might God be inviting you to realign?

Maybe it’s not about doing more, but doing what you’re already doing with greater purpose and awareness.

Sometimes, the peace you’re searching for isn’t in the next thing.
It’s in aligning with what’s already in your hands.

Next week, we’ll begin with Identity, the person behind the bow, and why understanding who you are in God is the foundation of everything else.

Until then, take a deep breath.
You’re not behind. You’re just being aligned.

With much love,
Andrea John
