What is my purpose? I am re-reading Rick Warren's 'The Purpose-Driven Life' for the third time. It hit me in Chapter four my purpose is writing for I worked as a nurse and even a teacher I feel more that I am fulfilling my purpose as a writer. Through writing I am sharing what I have learned and what I am learning. I know when I die even though I feel like I will still be down here on Earth trying to guide others somehow I know God and Jesus is with me in all I am here one Earth.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

You have a beautiful gift and purpose, Mark. I know you have touched many lives and many souls in your quests.
I try not to go to what happens when as that may be the easy way. I ask for Creator God's will for me. So that when my time is up it isn't because I made it so. I tried that before and it wasn't a good idea, as I wouldn't have had the life experiences I have had and helped those that I could. Thank you for sharing/teaching and commenting Mark!😊💕💗
It sounds like you’ve truly found your calling in writing, where you can share your wisdom and experiences with others. It's beautiful that you feel a deep connection with your purpose and believe that even beyond this life, you'll continue to guide others.
I found your reflections on how purpose can shift over time especially meaningful. It reminded me that our paths aren’t always straightforward, and sometimes the uncertainty is where the most growth happens. The courage it takes to share that process is inspiring, and I’m sure many readers, like me, will find comfort in knowing they’re not alone in these feelings.
