Life
What gives you a real sense of life? What makes life worth living? It seems that life is filled with a whole lot of doldrum or boring stuff and then all the sudden there is a flash of life! I want to know what it is so I can see it and experience it more often. I know that seeing things that are beautiful and wondrous gives me something that feels like life. Being surprised by someone's unexpected act of kindness does too. A good laugh is in this category also. Feeling really close to someone special is one of these things. Something in me wants to live in these things oftener.

'The unexamined life is not worth living' -Socrates
I truly think that if we examine our life at every angle it causes us to find God at every point and makes our life that much more 'worth living'

I'm thankful to be sharing your journey with you and I appreciate your style. Your openness and contemplation make my journey seem both safer and more worthwhile. Have an awesome week!
I've been on a journey for the past several months of pondering my purpose and finding the assurance that before God I am "doing what I'm supposed to be doing."
Here's a scripture I have been pondering today, I share it here because it seems to relate to this post&chain and as such, it might be an encouragement and blessing to others:
Gal 6:4-5 (msg) Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.
