Holy duh!
In our class last night we are reviewing for the girls what God's purpose is?
"God's purpose is for all the people of the nations to know Him and worship Him"
I say under my breath, "What's my purpose?" and, apparently, Jill heard and said to me, That was my purpose, as well, that I was over-thinking it.
Fine.
Just fine.
However, that's EVERYONE'S purpose!
I just want to know what God's purpose is for ME, ya know?
"God's purpose is for all the people of the nations to know Him and worship Him."
I KNOW!!!!(she whines)
I just want to know what God's purpose is for me?(she's almost there....)
It's innersteen that I thought I had found purpose by writing about my life, almost proving to myself that God had His hand on me, when really that was self-promoting, building myself up, reveling in my past(which has a sick payoff for me), and altogether wallowing in self.
So, maybe that was God that removed all that from me to show me the simple Truth:
His purpose for me is that I know Him and worship Him.
Could it really be that simple?
Could my discontent with this simple Truth be stemmed from my tendency for the over-dramatic and grandiose?
Could be....
It's hard being me cuz sometimes "I'm dummer than a fencepost."
(what's a fencepost?),

So glad I wandered over here today. Now that you know your purpose be open and available to whatever direction the Lord leads. Maybe that is keep on keepin' on or maybe He has something else in mind. Hmmmm....something to ponder. I would love to help you any time you need a clanging gong in your ear.
