The Purpose Driven Life

I made a confession to someone other than myself yesterday about some things that were heavy on my heart.  I confessed that I was struggling with my purpose.  I know enough to know that one’s sense of purpose is related to one’s sense of value.  And one’s sense of value is usually defined by those… Continue reading The Purpose Driven Life

BE BRAVE.

As I mentioned in my previous post I am currently immersed in the “Divergent” series.  While there are many components of the story line that have lured me in, one of the most appealing is the Dauntless faction.  The Divergent story takes place in a city that is divided up by factions.  Each faction consists… Continue reading BE BRAVE.

Not too long ago I allowed my burning frustration with this season to boil over into anger.  I thought about the many journals I have stored up in my night stand drawer right next to my bed.  Pages and pages of letters to the Lord written over the last 11 years.  Pouring out my heart, my dreams, my dedications… Continue reading This is My Portion
