Today, I was reading about Paul and His life purpose. He had "one thing" that he wanted to do above anything else. You probably know the verse that goes something like this..."this one thing I do...press toward the mark"... I think he is talking about the goal of Heaven in this verse.
It made me think about living a life of purpose. Do you have a "one thing"? Or do you have a million one things? I could fill my life with all kinds of things to do and some of them might actually be good things. But, at the end of my life, will I have regrets of things that I did that where good, but not really my purpose?
We went to our friends house last night, and I was challenged by their friend visiting from Florida. He is a missionary to Air Force Airmen with the Navigator's. You need to meet one of these guys, because they are great. He had a career as a pilot in the Army, I think and felt God leading him towards being a Nav missionary. He said That if you live your life like you could die tomorrow, then you live with no regrets. He said it much better than I am writing it. You just need to meet this guy. Ryan K., if you read this you probably know him. :)
The mix of the conversations last night and then today's reading, really made me think. What is my "one thing"? Am I am living a life with no regrets? With purpose? I already know the answer. I do have regrets in some areas. I think I just need to love people more. I do know that at this time in my life, God has lead me to encourage military women. I pray I always listen to the spirit's leading.

Hey sounds like a great conversation. It reminds me of a thought process i have gone through many times, 'am i choosing what is good, and not what is the BEST?' I feel like we can just react to life so often instead of living in defense i want to learn to live every playing offense.
