You can join in from day one HERE.
Here we are. October 31st. The challenge for me this month was to stay on purpose and write about it. I can honestly say, I have experienced a myriad of emotions this month while trying to stay focused. I didn’t meet my 31 day goal, but the knowledge I gained was invaluable.
We all ask those questions of why am I here, what purpose can I serve, or even why can’t I be like someone else. But I’ve learned our purpose is more than questions, it’s about resting in God’s presence realizing that even little things make a difference when we give our everyday lives to Him in worship.
Hopefully, you have spent some time thinking about your strengths, talents, and what makes you cry your eyes out or bang your fists on the table. I hope the posts this month have challenged you to say no to somethings, so you can say yes to those things most important. Remember, you are not superwoman or superman.
What has become ever more clear along this 31 day journey as my daddy breathed his last breath on the 24th, is that your purpose will be lived out each moment. There will be divine appointments along the way, as well as interruptions.
But when you decide to fill a need, you’ll realize there’s only ONE PURPOSE. And to that purpose . . .
you must never, never, never quit!
This is the last day in a 31 day series, start here to catch up from the beginning. Also, if you’d like some great reads, check out these other 31 Day-ers! Great ideas, how-to’s, and thoughts.

I've loved this journey of Living with Purpose. Your words have challenged and encouraged me over these last 31 days.
I almost gave up, Alene… on "my purpose" that always makes me cry or bang my fist on the table!
I can't "thank you" enough, for walking out "your purpose" to be used to help me continue to live out mine…THANK YOU!
love ya~Tammy

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog, Alene. I love the quote at the end of your post – the one by Churchill. It's so easy to want to quit, even when we know our purpose and calling! Glad for your heart and commitment to this past month of posts, it's such a great topic!
