Our Purpose - Purpose Study - No. 1

Do you wonder what your purpose in life really is?  What you are really here for?  I do.  Yes, I am purposed to be a wife, a daughter, a nurse, a friend and many other things.  But, what is God's purpose for me.  Walking with Him these past 16 years has been quite a journey and yet I still don't feel like I know EXACTLY what it is.  So with that in mind, I decided to do some reading.   I did a general on-line search on which verses had the word purpose in them. I also browsed other sites for lists on bible verses with purpose. There are, in fact, many verses on purpose in the bible. My plan is to go through a verse each day and learn more about what the bible has to say on this topic.  It may or may not "reveal" what He wants me to focus on, but it certainly cannot hurt to know His word more thoroughly.  Perhaps you would like to join me?


If you look to the right you will see I have posted "Today's verse" with a link to my study notes.  If you are using the phone version you may not see the link and therefore I will add it to this section each day.  Clicking on the link in the full web version will direct you to our church website.  My husband and I both have blogs on this site.  This is where I will put my notes for each of these verses.  You may be wondering why I don't just post the notes here.  There is a method to my madness.  I wanted this site to be more about day to day life.  Since I have already been brainstorming on many topics that should go here, I made the decision to separate the two.  My hope is you will just click the link and get the "best of both worlds" so to speak. 


Your thoughts are so welcome!  Please take a moment to comment either here or on the church website.  Not everything will speak to you.  Sometimes there will be an "ah-ha" moment and sometimes not.  If you even gain one piece of perspective then my heart is happy.

It was a Monday

Well, yesterday was my first missed day posting to the blog.  It was truly a Monday.  We moved from my parents house into our "lakefront" property at Lake Yale Conference Center.  For those of you with no idea where Lake Yale is, I have posted a link.   http://www.lybcc.com/   A 27ft camper is now home and we feel really blessed to have been given this place to stay.  It was definitely a challenge to fit everything inside.  I guess I should clarify, we did not bring everything.  We downsized a bit on the clothes, doubled up on each hanger, left a few of Steve's books behind and the harp is staying at Mom's for now.  It took two trips to get everything here.  Just as I pulled in, my parents pulled in behind me.  They had been to a doctor's appointment and stopped by to see the new digs.  My mom marched right up to the sink and began washing dishes for me.  I unloaded my car and attempted to figure out where to put ev...

No more memories

 It has been a long 16 months since my last blog post.  Too much has happened...too much. The most significant event was the passing of my mother last September.  It was truly a heart wrenching experience.  Many of you who know me know that my relationship with my mother was difficult.  We loved each other very much, but we had a difficult time spending long periods of time together.  We were both strong willed, independent and opinionated.  She wanted her way and I wanted mine.  Ultimately this caused way too many disagreements and misunderstandings.  These times of turmoil I now realize were a total waste of time for us both.   In those last days, sitting in her hospital room, it became all too apparent we had spend far too many times being frustrated with each other, arguing or not speaking.  When they told us we would have 2 to 12 months on hospice, I resolved myself to make it the best time we had ever had....

Time stolen

Time is quickly stolen away as I realize it has been ten days since I last put my thoughts into a posting.  My weekdays are consumed with work and I am so mentally exhausted at the end of the 10-12 hours, I cannot think of anything except doing nothing.  The weekends are a dash of running errands, church activities and trying to cram time in with family and friends.  When I woke this morning, I could not believe Saturday and Sunday had already come to a close.  This morning actually consisted of my husband waking me at eight minutes after seven.  For a point of reference, I usually leave the house at 7:05 am each day.  That should give you a quick understanding of how my Monday started with a bang.  Before I could get to the car, one of my employees was calling to tell me she would be out sick today.  I tried to force my brain into action as I reviewed what else was going on today.  It had already escaped my memory that I had one employee c...
