Dan Edelen wrote an excellent post this week entitled: Purpose – and why Christian men don’t always live theirs.
In it he says:
I have with other Christian men concerns their nearly universal sense of purposelessness. In fact, I would say that at least 70 percent of the Christian men I know have this nagging feeling that they’re not doing what they are supposed to be doing. And this usually means in their careers, in their walk with the Lord, or in both.
This really struck a chord with me, I feel exactly what he is talking about. I live every day feeling I’m not doing what I am supposed to be doing. This is part of the reason I’m not blogging much – I feel disconnected from my purpose.
How about you? Am I alone in this feeling?

No, you’re not alone. I felt this way for 98% of 2007. God really showed me there were things in me that we’re dying so He could shine more through. Still though, on a regular basis, it’s not really that I feel I have no purpose but more like I’m not sure I’m doing it right (kinda like you said). At the end of the day, I do know that God can clarify and show us purpose in the ways that only He can and that makes me joyful.
Anyway, my 2 cents!
Thanks for your 2 cents Jason!
