Are you there Sheri? It's me, God.

I've been thinking a lot lately (that is never good for me or my family) about life and purpose. I often wonder if I am really fulfilling my God-given purpose for my life. How do we truly know? Does He let you know somehow? Well, I don't think I am in that spot right now. I look around me and see weird and tragic things taking place in my family and friends lives and think "What am I doing here?" Then for a split second I think "Are you there God? It's me Sheri." Then as quick as that question comes the answer follows. He has always been there and always will be here. It is me that strays from the path. I just forget sometimes. I get so frustrated with my kids when I get on to them for...oh, I don't know....keeping their hands to themselves....and their answer is "Oh, I forgot....." I wonder if thunder is really God banging His head against a cloud when we do something so completely ridiculous while saying, "What Am I Going To Do With You?!?!?" He has given me all the tools I need to get through life and sooooo much more. A wonderful husband, three beautiful children (and I'm not kidding--they are BEAUTIFUL), a great church (a God-fearing/loving church), an awsome Sunday School Class, I teach the special needs class at church.........why do I feel like something is missing?? Yes, I know I am neurotic and selfish. I just need accountability (is that a word?-sounds weird). I have been reading some awsome blogs lately....some awsome spiritual blogs (thanks Steph for yours and all the other links--you are amazing). They have taken my journey and my thoughts deeper. I am not as elegant as they are when writing my thoughts. My husband calls it "snowballing". No one really knows what I am thinking or saying half the time---just not a writer--Sorry! Thanks for enduring my "snowballing"................
