I'm On A Mission - Day One

At times like this, it is only natural for me to do number 2. So there I was, sitting and trying to let go of myself, but nothing came out. So while I waited, I grabbed Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life and started reading the Preface. Before I continue, I'd like to ask: have you ever read this book? I haven't, and so, the first few pages are really good, and he said, make sure you read only one chapter each day.

The book's consist of 40 chapters. So it'll take 40 days for me to finish it. And I'm on it now. Will begin to read in about 3 minutes.. I'll continue after I finish the first chapter.

.....

I'm done.

Day One: IT ALL STARTS WITH GOD

Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him Colossians 1:16b

Hmm.. It sounds very simple to me. I got a whole day to think about this, and I think I know He owns me. I mean I've always asked God about my purpose of life. I'm just never sure of what He wants me to do in life. You know sometimes God opens the gate really wide you'd know that He gives you that blessing, that opportunity and walk with confident. But there are times you barely know if He's going to open that door for you or not.

Maybe saying that makes me sound selfish. Rick wrote in his book that most of us are too self-centered. I wonder if I'm one of those people. I think I could be. But I know my life belongs to Him. I know He has plans for me. I believe Him. It's just... It will be great if I could know my purpose of life, like, right away. You know what I mean?

Well, the only thing that can remind me that God is here with me, He knows the purpose of my life, and He'd show me that is by feeding myself with God's words. When I start to think that I've drifted too far away from Him, I always get back to bible. And I think my friends at church always there for me, to nudge me, teach me and giving me hope.

Praying is a good tool too.

I can't wait on tomorrow! :D

From now to 39 days onwards, I'll be posting about things I've learned, and thought about from this reading session. Maybe it will transform me! In a much better way :)
