40 Days of Purpose- My Personal Take on the Journey Through Rick Warren’s book- The Purpose Driven Life: Day 1
Day 1
I have seen this book around online for a while now. I have even had it on my Amazon wish list for a bit. Just never did buy it. I was thinking about what my purpose in life is now that my health has taken a turn for the worse and I am not fully functioning most days. I was diagnosed with two different vestibular disorders as well as chronic fatigue syndrome. I have been dealing with the symptoms for years, but recently it has been at its worst. A lot of things have happened to bring me to the place where I am now.
Long story short, I was a successful teacher and a principal for a while in my life. I even started my own school a few years ago. Living my childhood dream of being a teacher and principal. I loved what I did and it was definitely a calling on my life. My school is now an umbrella school for homeschoolers. Which I do love having and helping families with educating their children, but it doesn’t quite feel the same as having the kids in person to teach.
So with that background information in mind, this is why I am seeking what God’s purpose and will is for my life now. For the next 40 days, I will journal about what God is showing me and teaching me through this book.
So far it has been eye opening and amazing! I am very excited to see what God has for me next and I am excited to share that with you!
Day 1 was a great reminder that IT IS NOT ABOUT ME!I don’t know about you, but I needed this reminder. It is so easy to get stuck in the mindset that it is about me. Poor me, I don’t feel good, I can’t function like I used to, I am not feeling like the same person I was…
I want to serve God so much and do what He has called me to do. Life is all about living for God. It is about His plan and His purpose in my life. God has created me with a purpose in mind. It is all about Him and what He desires for me. Since God created me, He is the one who determines my purpose.
If you would like to join me on this journey, I highly recommend you order the book “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren and get the journal too, it is helpful, although you can go through the book without it.
As we journey through these next 40 days, I encourage you to open up your heart! Let God do a work in you! Come back tomorrow for Day 2!
Wishing you all the best and my prayers for you as you desire to do the will of God in your life!
