Birthday...

Funny how every year I anticipate the day of my birth, and it comes and goes with little to no feeling of becoming older. I was reminded of purpose on this day. I got caught up in the trap of thinking that my purpose went beyond the basics of loving God, daily, in whatever form that life brings to me. I was so anxious that those arround me and the people I love would be disapointed in new direction I will choose when school is out. It has nothing to do with what you do, it has everything to do with who you are.

My mom included this in the card that she gave me...

"Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord;
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust him and he will do this;
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord and wait paitiently for him;
The meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
(Ps. 37)

Simple words, very simple... now try to live it, not so easy...
