Purpose???

Purpose? What's my purpose?

I've been asking so many areas of my life: Why do I do it this way? How could we change it? Do we need to do it at all? I ask this of: unit meetings, church, placement of objects, do-ability of evening outings, habits...

"It's easy to say no when you've said yes to something better" I have read (and can't give proper credit to since I can't recall where I read/saw it), as well as "if it doesn't fit your purpose, why are you doing it?"

So why this blog? As I scan other blogs I uncover "themes": cooking, "free range kids" (an amazing treasure of a find http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/!), travel...although my title would indicate constructive reformation of me and my life, does it acually reflect that through/in my recordings? Originally an outlet for the writing I love to do...but this is purely selfish. It shouldn't be just for me. Audience - who is my audience? Or so they would ask in high school language class (and recently when I asked a friend to review a proposed speech I had penned, she asked that very question). Who is the audience? WHat do they want and how can you give it to them? My blog (and everything I do) needs a higher purpose...less OF me, less FOR me...


Too often the world, media, our culture makes it all about ME. How does it benefit ME? Serve yourself first and others second...moms need time for their own interests so they can "feed" and nurture spouse and children...figure YOURSELF out...make YOUR dreams come true.

Hooey!

When the focus is on me it is off of God. When it's on me it's off of others. And Jesus shared that the 2 greatest commandements are Love the Lord and Love your Neighbour as Yourself (Matthew 22:36-38).

So it shouldn't be about me me me...it's supposed to be about and for you, the reader. What can I do? How can I do this? Do I need a "theme"? Have I even figured out its purpose, my calling, or have I just rambled on some more?
