"God was thinking of you long before you ever thought about Him. His purpose for your life predates your conception. He planned it before you existed, without your input. You may choose your career, your spouse, your hobbies, and many other parts of your life, but you don't get to choose your purpose."
~ Rick Warren, "A Purpose Driven Life"
When I was transferring items from last year's planner to the ones for this year, I was looking at some of the notes I had written in margins and on spare pages. The above quote was one of these. I read the book several years ago, so I think I've transferred this particular passage from one planner to another each year. Obviously, it speaks to me... and as I see it again, once more I'm reminded of the question in my mind ~ wondering what my purpose is? Is it something I'm doing? Is it something I'm supposed to do, but haven't done it? Good things to think about.
In the meantime, I can easily deal with the career, spouse and hobbies :) The hobbies are something I've been working on this week ~ actually making lists of things to make during the year. I have so many projects in mind that I hope to get done for Christmas ~ some for us, and some for gifts. I'm hoping that if I plan well and do a little each month, that I'll actually get some of these things finished. Wish me luck :)
