Becoming a Woman of Purpose - Intro

Becoming a Woman of Purpose
Introduction"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
~Romans 8:28

Hello ladies,
I found a book hidden on my bookshelf that I hadn't read yet! I skimmed through the first few lessons and feel as though it could be a good fit for all of us women. The book is actually part of a best selling series by Cynthia Heald, so I think this was perfect timing!

There are 11 chapters (11wks), not including the preface which I will be discussing today:

Direct quote from the back of the book-

"All of us wonder, at one time or another, who we are and why we're here. While society emphasizes wealth, success, and the pursuit of pleasure, the truth is that we are created by God in His image, and our fulfillment is found in pursuing His purpose for us."

Please note that this study is not going to focus on discovering your own individualized purpose in life (however, it may occur), it is also not going to be an extensive and comprehensive study on the overall topic. The goal is to comprehend the purposes of God, then finding your eternal purpose.

All of us have been given the task of determining the purpose for something? Disagree? Think about this- projects, events, goals, they all have a purpose behind them and without knowing the purpose the end result will be drastically different.

You are God's child.
He has a purpose for you.
Things to accomplish.

I am excited to begin this new journey with you! It isn't required, but purchasing the book (under $10!) could really help with your personal study and has so much more than I will be putting on here (avoiding plagiarism/copyright infringement)... try Amazon, or ChristianBook. I hope you will plug-in to this study... leave feedback, ask questions, etc.
