Today's post is a re-post of a post I posted (say that 10 times fast!) a few years ago and also what I sent out to the 52 PickMeUppers this week. I just reread it and decided that I wanted to share it with you, too.
We all have a specific purpose and several years ago when I not only heard that but took it SERIOUSLY did I get it (no, not "my purpose" but the entire scope of what it means) I was excited to know what my purpose was because I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up besides a wife, a mom and a PTA member.
Insert screeching breaks....
It is not about what I wanted to be but about what I already was.
#duh.
NOPE.
Our individual purpose is "what we were created to be" and up until a handful of years ago did I REALLY get it and I had to grow through what I had to go through to understand it all.
Now I get it.
I mean, I got it, my purpose, that is and here is the thing, everyone else around you may be able to see it and know it and even tell you what "it" (your purpose) is but until you REALLY get it, you don't...
Oh I hope I have not lost you because here it is. I am starting to feel, think and see things differently than I really ever have before and with that, I have to say...
It's not about scrapbooking...(duh)
or doodling.. (eek!)
or making things from paper..(drat!)
or baking things from dough and batter..(whatttt????)
or stitching things from felt...(gulp!)
or painting, stamping or really anything thing else.
MY PURPOSE is about inspiring, influencing, teaching, reminding and loving all of the above and creating a community around it.
Insert falling confetti, letting colorful balloons fly, blowing party horns, clicking heels like a leprechaun, lighting fireworks..
Thank YOU for being part of my PURPOSE!
amen.
