My Purpose Driven Life

The last few months have been an amazing whirlwind of new adventures. In December I left the comfort of Central Michigan University (my home for the last 6 years), only to start my new wonderful life with my amazing new wife. I then started a new adventure with a new company called the National Relief Network, this move helped to fill a passion that was ignited early on in my CMU tenure; helping others. To top it off in just a few short weeks I will be receiving a Bachelors Degree of Applied Arts (a miracle in its own right).  With all these big changes in my life I find myself lost within my own head.

Lately the question has been on my mind... What do I want to do with my life?

Furthermore, lately I have been asking what am I meant to do? I am a man with very strong faith in God. I truly believe that God has a purpose for me and my life.

So when I started to discuss my life, and my not so clear future career path with my family, I was handed this book called "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. The book is meant to help facilitate a 40 day self reflection on what my purpose in life is within God's master plan.

So why am I writing a blog about this? The truth is I am doing it for a couple reasons. The first is that I need help. I sometimes have a problem with follow-through. My hope is that by updating this blog on a daily basis, I will be able to complete my task because I have an audience keeping tabs on me. The second is that I hope to possibly inspire someone else to look deep within their own self and find their purpose in life.
