I enjoy them about as often as most things that are good for me…about 37.2% of the time.
That’s OK; I don't think they're always meant to be enjoyed.
I don't agree with everything Rick Warren says (I don't even agree w/myself 100% of the time). But his ministry has helped me stick to the "narrow path" many a day.
Occasionally, the Purpose Driven devotional includes a call for service that shuts me down. Some days my service simply cannot extend beyond preparing a semi-decent meal for my kids. And actually listening when they speak.
On those days (OK, this day), it helps to remember that Jesus said:
"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 6:29If you're having a not-so-purpose-driven day, know that to believe is an act of service.
No one lives up to their purpose every day; celebrate the moments when you do. If you feel like sharing one of your shining purpose driven moments, by way of "comments" on this blog, please do.
I pray that the unfailing love and grace of Christ uplift you today. Bless you, beautiful children of God. xoxox, Cheeky

Oh, you're good. Let's get that walk in this week sometime.
You're on, girlfriend! Promise not to talk about God during entire walk. Or at all. OK, keeping eyes on eternity but unfortunately still human... xox, Cheeks
Thank you so much for this! You rock Church Lady! And as far as readership goes, the more people who hear your good and Godly messages, the better. Here's to changing hearts, minds, and bringing a little peace and joy to cancel out the yuck in the world
Amen, sister (brother?)! xo, Cheeks
