Purpose Driven Life, ch.1

I'm re-reading The Purpose Driven Life (what on earth am I here for?) and decided to journal as I went. I know this is personal stuff, but since most people don't know me, I don't really care.
I love the way Chapter 1 starts very simply: "It's not about you". I am used to asking myself, what would I like to do or be in my life. Well, turns out that God has a plan and purpose for our lives and it is up to us to discover it. Rick says that we discover our identity and purpose through a relationship with Christ and that my purpose in life fits into a much larger cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity. Whew! There is something comforting about knowing God has a purpose for me, but I don't yet know what it is. I hope to by the end of this book.
