I’m a little behind. EEEP. But I did read Day 1. It is about how your life has a purpose. You’d think we would all know that. But so many times it is easy to forget. And not everyone knows. And of course it is easy to forget that not everyone knows their purpose.

This chapter really discusses that everyone has some purpose in life. We aren’t just here randomly. There’s something, someone out there. I think that someone wants us to be happy. We need to remember him.

Something I thought about was how hard it was for me to remember to read this book. I’m so swept up in all my craziness at the moment. The chapters are real short, just a few pages. So you’d think it would be easy to fit into your life. Not too big a commitment. So that’s good. We are busy busy people after all, aren’t we? But it did bring the question to my mind that should it be something we want to fit easily in our lives with not too big a commitment? Are we getting swept up in the business of our world that we forget the Lord? Now there’s something to really ponder. Are we living for eternity or are we living just to survive today? I know I try to keep that eternal perspective, but gosh it is so hard sometimes. Just getting wrapped up in today. I need to do x, y, and z and I have to do it! I’m being guilty of that right now with this move. I must pack pack pack! Well I should try to remember to take a few minutes every once in a while and remind myself that it will all work out and I don’t need to pressure myself so much. I mean my house is coming together marvelously. Things are really shaping up. I will get it done, I don’t have to kill myself today to get it done today!

Anyway, that’s what I thought about reading this chapter. I’m going to ponder it some while I go and I run my errands and pick up some paper and stuff I’m not sure if I will go get totes or not. I need to but I just really don’t feel like going to Walmart. *SIGH* I have like three I can use. Maybe I can go to Walmart tomorrow after I pack these totes up. 🙂 I don’t think I’ll get them all packed up and need more tonight. I have time. I have a purpose, but I also have time. It is better to take my time and do it right. This is my mistake. I get gung ho and barrell on through. Keep that eternal perspective. I have totes today. I should use those before I go buy more. However I do need paper to finish packing. So I will do that.
