He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. – Friedrich Nietzsche
This morning, as a part of my summer rejuvenation project, I started working through Storyline (storylineblog.com), created by author Donald Miller. After the first video, I immediately realized something that has been missing in my life for awhile. It is what I refer to as ” the why behind the what.” For most of my life I believed that what has happened to me, since birth, transpired for a reason, which is that God has a purpose and a plan for my life. This concept is something I have wrestled with over the years, intellectually, spiritually as well as by praxis.
At the heart of this purpose is to “comfort those with the comfort I have received.” This puts my life into perspective. What can I do to help the triple A? (Not the American Automobile Association). My triple A is those who have been abandoned, abused, and adopted, and those affected by someone who has.
Because of this thinking, I decided to begin writing a new blog. Hopefully, this one will not end up in the blog dump, but will glorify God and make a difference in someone’s life.
