Devotionals

Last night I started two devotionals, one is Living a Divinely Inspired Life and the second one is Love and Marriage.  When starting these devotionals you read the introductory paragraph that basically sums up what the devotional will be about.  Obviously, Love and Marriage is about marriage and love within your marriage for each other and your relationship with God.  Living a Divinely Inspired Life is about your purpose "in this God given life" and "a role he has given you to fulfill."  Not only in Living a Divinely Inspired Life but also in Love and Marriage they ask what is your purpose/role in this life/marriage? 

Being a 25 year old married lady that has already graduated from college and still isn't quite sure sure what to do with my life, I'm still not quite sure of that purpose/role.  We start in high school getting ready to go to college supposedly knowing what we want to do with our life, then we go to college and are still trying to figure it out, then we graduate from college feeling more pressure about what we want to do or be or maybe what our purpose is.  You think, "I should have this figured out by now" but it seems most people my age are still asking themselves the question, what is my purpose/role?  Maybe we need to answer that question with another question, what IS a purpose or role?  That may seem like a silly question, but when I think about purpose/role I think job or maybe a serious hobby that you could be really passionate about.  Is this purpose or role definite, like for instance will you only have one and is it for the rest of your life?  Are we not fulling living our "God given life" if we don't find it out soon? 

My question is why is it so important to us, as people, to find a purpose/role?  Christian or not everyone is looking for a purpose or their role to play in this life we were given, but why do we need to know now?  I feel that most of us may never really know the answer till we are old sitting somewhere pondering the life we had, the choices we made, what was really important to us and so on.  What if we all had one purpose and one role, to experience and love life and everyone around us just as Jesus did, would that not be enough?  Maybe that's my purpose/role?  Who knows, I don't really need my answer right now, I'm happy working as a barista, married to my best friend, and experiencing what ever God puts in my way. 

I guess this is the first one

I guess this is the first blog I will be posting as an official "BLOGGER," what ever that means.  I really feel like I should have a point to this blog but I don't have one yet.  I'm not even a good writer.  Think about it, you just want to have a place to write what you think and share those thoughts with the world wide web, but then you get judged harshly for whatever your thinking and how your thinking and so on and so forth, but then again, this is the USA and you can do that here.
