Week 1: Finding Significance

We're on the hunt. We're searching for what may be a hard thing to find the answer to - just how do we fit into this whole thing called life? What's our meaning? Our purpose?

Answering the following three questions can help us figure out just how significant we are.
Do I matter?
Am I loved?
Why am I here?

This week as you put some thought into these questions when you're checking in with yourself to see how you're REALLY doing, let's take a minute to be honest with ourselves, ok? By filling in the following you can see where you're at right now. Then, we can see where we need to go. (Don't worry, we're not sharing this part - unless you're Holly and filled in "I could marry Drake" for each one.) :)

If only ___ I would be happy.
If only ___ I would feel loved.
If only ___ people would respect me.

Let's get these "if onlys" cleaned out so we can focus on what's really going on with us, shall we?

It's time to start to tell YOUR story. Through the next several weeks of our Third Place study, we'll be working through a number of challenging and inspirational discussions together. But what it all boils down to is you. Are you ready? What's your story? What will your story be? Will it be a story of courage in how you dared to be the person God created you to be? Or will you play it safe?

Jot down a few notes about your story. You can share them here or bring them and we'll chat about them next week.

Ephesians 1:11 
It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we're living for.

I love you girls! Drop me a line or text anytime.
Peace!
