The Importance of Purpose

Okay - I don't have anything especially profound to write, but I would like to note that I've begun rereading "The Purpose Driven Life". Now that I've got a few more years on me (and hopefully a bit more maturity!) maybe something will stick this time. The funny thing is that I'm only on the third day of it and already I feel convicted for the thing I struggle most with - gossip.

This is no coincidence. God led me to reread this book at this specific time in my life. Therefore I do not take these "coincidences" lightly, but instead as divine intervention. I'm doing something wrong and God is calling me on it!

My purpose? To live in a way that is pleasing to God.

If I could only remember to do this 24 hours a day, and then actually DO it, well - I'd be perfect. Since that's not nearly possible, I'll keep asking God to tame my tongue.

Please comment - what's your purpose?

  1. I love the new look! Makes me want to change mine!
    Chris thinks I gossip a lot...I personally don't think I do. Do I?
    Maybe I need to define gossip.
    As for a purpose, I am clueless maybe I should reread the book as well.

  2. Great thoughts, Trish. I too feel the lesson we are suppose to learn keeps coming back to me lots... I guess that's when I think I'm really suppose to learn it. Keep blogging girl!
