My very first entry in my very own blog!

I have resisted creating my own blog for a long time. I figured that I could always just share my thoughts in an email if I wanted to share them with someone and in a journal if I wanted to keep them to myself. But, here I am, blogging. I admit that I decided to do a blog strictly for search engine optimization. The more you see the words Soul Purpose, the better chance I get to move up in the ranks in finding my name when talking about Soul Purpose. Hopefully, that would translate into a better chance at attracting customers and potential business partners. But I realized that God has a bigger plan for me with this blog. It's a chance to share my thoughts and for others to share theirs, as well. It may be a way of helping me find my purpose in life. At my age, you'd think that I had found it but I don't know that I have. So this may be the way to do it!

How so, you may ask? By sharing my thoughts and hearing from others. It's though the sharing that many things are discovered. So this may be my way. If it's not ,I can always end the blog. But how amazing would it be if it turned out to be so?

I was blessed with having gone to two church services this past weekend. I went to my own church service at 8am (Southlawn United Methodist Church in Chicago) because I love hearing my pastor and singing with the Praise Team. After a fulfilling service, I went to my cousin Dennis' church service. He has started a church in Dolton, IL. I'll have to get the name of it shortly be. Is it Prayer of Faith? Anyway, my cousin Dennis Morrison is an anointed pastor and he spoke about faith and purpose. When he was done, he asked if anyone needed prayer. I found myself in tears, walking up front to prayer. It's as if he knew what was on my mind! What does God want me to do with my life? What is my purpose? Dennis prayed for that as well as for a child (that's another blog on another day) but I felt cleansed and refreshed when we were done. Then I was on a Soul Purpose training call the other day when Toni Coleman Brown mentioned starting a blog for search engine optimization. Who knew that it may just be the answer to prayers for me, helping me move in the direction that God wants me to go?

Well, this is only day one. More to come! I look forward to your thoughts on this!
