Hit Home

Today's message at church today really hit home.  What would the movie be if one was made of my life story?

Right now, not a very interesting one or one that I would even want to go see.  I am just a regular "josey" with not much of a worth whiled life other than being a normal person living my life one day at a time and most of the time it is pretty boring.

So I thought, what can I do that would give it meaning for the reason why God made me and breathed life into my body. 

I decided to go on the internet at look at what I could do to help out others in need and found lots of volunteer opportunities. Food and soup kitchens, working with hospice, etc.  So I have decided that I want God to be proud of me and so something meaningful with my life.  I will be looking at joining one or more organizations and giving my free time to them to help others. 

I am so glad I went to church and Pastor John's message spoke so strongly to me.  I would have been so sad to go meet my maker and he ask me, "Okay Drue, what was your purpose of your life."  And the only answer I would have had would have been got married and raised two sons.

I told my hubby the other day that we don't do anything for fun anymore and that I didn't want us to reach retirement age and all we did was stay in the house and watch “sports”, etc.  I don’t have an interest in needing to have “material” things or any of that kind of stuff, but fun to me would be making my life have a purpose.  Maybe Pastor John's message today was God answering my question without me really asking it.  Maybe it is God's way of leading me in the direction he wants me to go for the rest of the years I have here on earth.
