If I only had a week to live.... (CONT'D)

A few weeks ago I was presented with a question, "IF you only had ONE week to live, What would you do?" I would still have to keep my job, so that rules out A LOT. Over the past few weeks, I have really been thinking about what I would want to do before I die. I already have a list of things I would like to do, but that could not be accomplished in one week.
So after thinking about this question extensively, I am coming to the conclusion that I would do exactly what I am doing right now. I would spend time with friends and family. I would honor my commitments that I had made. I would marvel at God's Creation every morning and every night.
I was listening to a sermon the other day and the pastor said "You will never be COMPLETELY satisfied on earth, because you are not in heaven with your Father. You can be happy, you can do things you enjoy, but you will never COMPLETELY be satisfied. Only God and spending eternity with Him can satisfy you."
PRAISE GOD. Ultimately, my goal on earth should be/is to live for Christ, further His Kingdom, and show His love to other people.
This earth, this story, this life is all about Christ...NOT ME.

Purpose Driven Life

My Bible study group has started a new study. The Purpose Drive Life by Rick Warren. I know MANY churches went through this study a couple of years ago. I somehow missed out on that and never had the opportunity to go through the study. Looking back now, I realize that it was not the right time for me. Lately, I have been searching. Searching for purpose, searching for meaning in my everyday life. Most of the time I just feel very lost and this can get very discouraging.
So when this book was considered for our group, I was very excited. I got a little behind on the reading the first week (because of traumatic home events), but I will get back on track.
What I have read so far has been amazing. It speaks directly to me and my struggles.
One sobering idea in the book is "It is NOT about YOU." Society as a whole is very selfish and narcissitic. It is easy to get caught up in this trend and look for self fulfillment in YOURSELF. Everytime I try to find purpose within myself, I fail.
I almost feel stupid for JUST realizing this, but.....baby steps, you know?! I will get there, slowly but surely.
Another idea from the book that is humbling: "God created you for a purpose. He knows your entire life before you were even BORN." It is incomprehensible to fathom that God knew me before I was born. How can you not find joy and love in this simple fact? He knew me, He loves me.
I am really excited to continue the journey through The Purpose Driven Life.
Have you studied The Purpose Driven Life? What are your thoughts?
