The Path from Pain to Purpose

I've been going through a lot of thinking about what is my purpose and wondering if I am doing what God planned for me to do. But mostly, I've wanted to know how do I know if I'm working in my purpose.  I asked the question earlier in the year on one of my Facebook statuses how do you know what your purpose is in life. I've bought books and have been reading the Bible but still I felt lost. Several days ago I downloaded one of my favorite Christian author newest non-fiction book.  I had read her previous non-fiction book, I Shall Not Die: Living A Psalm 118:17 Existence.  From this book, I realized that I couldn't complain, and how truly important it is to have faith in God.  Now I reading, The Path From Pain to Purpose: Living A Romans 8:28 Existence (The Life Series), and already I feel like I know what God's purpose is for me. If you're going through something, you should never waver in your faith.  There are times we become afraid, and fearful if we hold on to God and have faith in Him, He will provide. Another thing, I love the way she explains why it is okay to ask God questions about things. Many of us have been instructed to not question God,  but the way she breaks it down, makes perfect sense that we can talk to Him about things without blaming or badgering.  Check the book out!

Without Faith by Author Leslie J. Sherrod

About the Book

A diva and a gentleman have shown up for couples counseling, but now Sienna is the one in danger....

She’s a sleuth. She’s a scorned wife. She’s a sista on a mission. Sienna St. James is more than a sharp-witted social worker. She’s a problem solver who keeps getting pulled into life-and-death mysteries that only complicate her already complex life. With a head-strong teenage son and a missing, estranged husband - who could be anywhere on the globe - Sienna has to figure out what gets her focus first: the questions she has about her own love and loss or the dangerous quirks and dark confusion of her current clients... And then there are the current eligible men around her who are jockeying for position, waiting for her to make up her mind about it all.
