Do you have vision? Need a purpose?

I think something I lack a lot is a huge vision for what my life stands for...what do I want to see happen, and what am I excited that God will do through me? I think He helps me out a lot with vision, and one of the things that's given me an increasing passion for ministry is books! Right now, I'm reading The Heavenly Man, about Brother Yun, a Chinese Christian man who goes through so much persecution and suffering...and so recently, too. China tries to convince the world that they have religious freedom, but they don't. THEY DO NOT. Religious freedom doesn't mean having to confess to believing whatever the government tells you to.

The book is so terrific, I totally recommend it. I think it's a close favourite with Safely Home, but The Heavenly Man is even better because it's a true story!

Need a purpose? My church is doing a 40 Days of Purpose program, where we all go through Rick Warren's best-selling book, The Purpose-Driven Life. I invite you all to come out! I'm really excited for it. You don't have to be a Christian! Let me know!
