Dreaming
I had a dream last night that my daughter was still about 10 years old. She was telling me in a smart mouth way that “I never did anything”. I woke up with a sick feeling that maybe she was right!

Oh, you were saying that you think that you don't do anything. I agree with Jettybetty! That is just silly following your last post.
Fulfilling your purpose often involves a lot of seemingly meaningless tasks - at least that's what I'm discovering.
A truly existential question ... in the vein of ... does my life matter... did I ever do anything worthwhile... have I accomplished something ... are my days wasted ... are the things I thought were good mostly meaningless????
It is here that the Christian philosophy of life uproots everything else. Our identity is not in what we have or have not done, but in Christ. He has lived through us and lighted the path for others in ways we never knew.
As we look at our lives we either wear blinders (I am nothing), or we have clear vision (I am what He has made me) or we have magnifying glasses (I am not as much as I think I am).
If our sufficiency really is in Christ, we will not be thrown into angst over purpose. We will be thrown into purpose by submission.
