We had a great small group last night. Following the church guided lesson may be a little different but I like having lessons that go along with the sermons. Our discussions helped us gain in site into each other and ourselves. This week, we talked about what our purpose in life. I think we all know our general purpose is to follow and glorify God but we each will do that in a different and specific way. Some may struggle with finding their specific purpose but I feel that I have narrowed mind down. I want to serve others! Now, I may not know the exact details of my course but I want to start with missions. I love to travel and I love to help others so I think mission are a great way to combine both. This year, I am trying to go to Uganda . This is my first step in fulfilling my purpose. Staying focused and disciplined in my finances will be my struggle but I will reach this goal.
There are two songs by Matthew West (My Own Little World and Motions) that I love and I think help me keep focused on my purpose. They remind me that 1) It's not about me 2) I need to live to serve others and 3) Don't do it out of obligation.
