Party of One is Totally Fun!

"All of my friends are but one, but He is all sufficient."--William Carey

I like this quote. When i was younger I had tons of friends. I was always coming and going and just could not sit still. I felt like if I was at home then the world was passing me by. All that has changed now. I don't have any friends, just God and family, and that's enough for me. I find that I don't have time for friends because what extra time i do have I want to spend with family or have for myself. Could i make time? Sure. Should friends be a priority in my life? No.
Having said that, iron sharpens iron and friends can be awesome but I only really need one friend--JESUS. Having also said that, my family is my friend and therefor, I feel no need to find friends elsewhere.
I'm glad that I found this quote and know that there is someone else who doesn't feel that they NEED friends.

Why am I a pilgrim and what is my purpose for this brief stay on earth?

Hello. I am a Pilgrim. I like to call myself that because that's what I am in this world essentially. If it sounds familiar then you've either heard of or read my inspiration for this name, the book Pilgrim's Progress. As a pilgrim, I am just passing through this world on my way to a perfect world--Heaven. While here, though, I do not sit and wait.

I have a purpose in this life. Unlike so many who looking to themselves find no answer for themselves. I chose to worship God and He gave me purpose. My purpose may seem too simple and lackluster for many who seek power and privilege, but it is the most powerful and privileged purpose known to mankind. It is a purpose that I am convinced has been almost completely stripped of all honor and significance. This purpose, my purpose, is nothing more and nothing less than being an excellent wife and mother.


A homemaker. A lover. A teacher. A friend.

I believe that this is God's BEST for my life and as long as He shows me the way, I will walk in it. I hope that through this introduction you know not my life story but my life's journey. What matters most is not what I've done but where I am going and the path I've chosen to get there.
