When things have a purpose they make sense.  When we human beings have a purpose we have a flow and a sense of peace.  I know when I was in college working towards my bachelor’s degree I thought I had to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and I was at a loss.  There was no straight subject line that would lead me directly to what I wanted to do, in the times that I thought I knew what that was.  So I studied subjects that interested me and in the end I realized it was less about which degree I received and more about the process of working toward and accomplishing a goal.  I knew how to be useful in that arena.  I had to set some disciplines in place so that I completed my work, signed up for the classes I needed.  I learned to ask questions and share ideas.  I got to know people I would not normally have had the opportunity to meet.  I was of service to others by finding uses for my talents.  Those 4 1/2 years of my life stand out as a time where I learned a lot about the world, about myself, and about how I approach life.  It was a time of tremendous growth and uncertainty.  Part of that time I was brought face to face with some of my own demons and had not the least bit of an idea of what to do.  But the times in which I thrived were those in which I saw some usefulness or way that I could contribute–to others and to myself. My prayer for us today is that we find a small way to be useful and see what happens to our mind’s focus and perspective during that time.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
