Finding My Purpose

I never used to be one to spend much time on the computer (let alone) reading any blogs, until one day a friend asked me to pray for a friend of hers. She briefly told me about her friend but said I needed to visit this family's blog. The blog is http://www.cfhusband.blogspot.com/. I began to follow this blog on a daily basis and eventually landed on other blogs that captured my heart as well. I encourage anyone to visit this blog and witness how the Lord has been with this family.

Over the past month I have felt that a big change is coming my way but not exactly knowing WHAT? I have had the book "Purpose Driven Life" for over two years now but have never managed to pass the first chapter. I have gotten sucked into life's interruptions and not stayed focused on the Lord and in finding out what exactly my purpose is. I am once again going to pick up this book, and finish reading it this time!

This brings me to why I've started this blog. A way to organize my thoughts. I find that my mind is running in many directions these days and it's so hard for me to stay focused on what truly matters the most.

I recently was viewing one of the blogs I follow named http://www.followthejoyfuljourney.blogspot.com/ and she wrote of a song that meant so much to her. It's titled "If You Want Me To". This song, Written by "Ginny Owens", really spoke to me.

I've been experiencing many difficulties lately and I know that this is all Gods plan. What I also need to know is that I am walking down the right road.

Which brings me to why I titled my blog Interpreting Today.

Over the last couple years, I wished that I knew what the future held for me. I've felt overwhelmed and wanted immediate answers. I've been left feeling frustrated in life.

I have a sign hanging in my house that reads: "God blesses us every day but it's up to us to notice". I AM guilty of not interpreting every day. I want to be able to see Gods leading and gain that daily understanding of where he is taking me.

More often then not, people end up somewhere in life that they never expected to be. I won't even begin to predict what ride I'm about to be taken on but rather, document where I've been taken. This way I can reflect back and see all of the Lord's blessings and be thankful for Each And Every day.

So here is where my journey begins........
