Purpose

I thought I’d share this quote from a book I perused at the bookstore today…

My purpose in life is growing. In life, I want to grow and change. I want to be different tomorrow than I am today. I want to grow as a wife — to be more in love with my husband, to hold hands more often, to enjoy long talks late into the night and to share our hopes and dreams. I want to grow as a mother — to watch my children mature into their own destinies. I want to grow as a spiritual person — to become kinder, wiser, more hopeful and more understanding. I want to work at my job with joy and honesty and integrity. I want each day to be filled with fun and excitement and challenge. And I want to help others bring about meaningful changes in their own lives, by sharing my discoveries and ideas. My purpose in life is fulfilled by giving and through helping others grow.” – Allyson Lewis

I want the above for my life, too. I want to live with purpose. And I want my actions and activities to be aligned with my purposes, God’s purposes, really. I want to do meaningful work rather than just busy work. I want to live the life God intended for me. I want to live with boldness (something I so lack and pray for constantly). I want to help my children discover their purposes. I want to make a difference in people’s lives. I’m praying for wisdom to know how.
