A Purpose Driven Life, Day the First

Dearest you,
I've decided to re-read a book I went through with a friend two years ago. It's called "The Purpose Driven Life", by Rick Warren. It's a forty-day devotional designed to help you discover God's purpose for your life. I thought I might just jot down some of the main points I come across, thereby letting you know of my progress (and keeping myself on track :). The first of April, Fool's day though it is, seemed like a logical day to begin.
Day one, It All Starts with God
"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible...everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him." Colossians 1:16
*Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.
*We were made by God and for God--and until we understand this, life will never make sense.
*God planned our purpose before our own existence. We can choose our career, spouse, hobbies, etc, but we don't get to choose our purpose.
*God is more than just our starting point in our life--he's the source of our life.
Point of the day to ponder: It's not about me.
Good food for thought...

Other than that, I've been enjoying the weather, though there may have been a few too many swarming bugs for my tastes. We decorated perfect white eggs with bright colors and waxed swirls outside while trying to dodge giant evil bumble bees. I studied. I read a 380-page book, which will brighten any day. I received a very belated birthday card; enclosed was a pretty bookmark that read, "Believe with faith all things are possible." I went on a walk with my wise papa. Praise God for little things!

Con amore,
Sophie
