THE PURPOSE OF LIFE BY STACY DUPLEASE OF STORIES BY STACY

Do you ever feel as though you keep thinking you know your purpose? Then something happens and it makes you re-examine your first premise?

As a child of God, I know my purpose is to bring God the glory. This doesn’t change. It’s all of our purposes. However, how we live that out differs. Our spiritual gifts are what makes this different for each of us.

The question of purpose is a question man’s been asking since the beginning of time and today is no differently.

I guess another question we could ask, rather than ‘What is my purpose in this world,’ is:

‘What is my niche in this world? Where do I fit in?’

As a writer, this question has been forever on my mind for years. I feel in many ways as though I’ve been blowing around in the wind like an old dried up leaf. I’m out of season and am trying to find the right breeze to catch me and make me bloom into a new tree. (Okay, leaves don’t grow trees. Seed do. But, pretend leaves do for the sake of my analogy, please.) I just don’t know what the tree is. I don’t know which breeze will catch me. And I sure don’t know what it will turn into.

The new year brings these questions out even more inside of me, I don’t know about you.

I know you’ve seen it in my writings over the last several months. I’m blowing all over the place.

I keep thinking I’ve found it. Then, no. That’s not it.

So, I’ve decided to go back to my first love and see what happens.

Journaling is my first love.

On this blog of Stories by Stacy 1, I’ll talk about life and writing.

On my other blog at:

http://www.rememberingyourpresentdiary.blogspot.com/.

I will talk about journaling, life, and how to get your life down on paper.

So, I guess I’m stopping fiction writing for a while. I’m going to try non-fiction.

On this blog, I’ll also include my memoir.

Welcome to another new beginning at Stories by Stacy.

Thanks for sticking with this blog and with me.

God bless you.
