~!~The First Purpose For Your Life~!~

This is from Meditations for The Purpose Driven Life:
The First Purpose For Your Life is to know and to love God because that gives God pleasure.

Now, I'm having to deal with obstacles that are trying to interfere with my baptism. I'm supposed to get tomorrow off from work - goodness knows it's like pulling teeth (I hate to use that analogy as you will see why, but I am the only one at this job that hardly ever takes off so I get extremely frustrated about it. Both my boss and coworker take oodles of time off compared to me) to get a day off from this job at the Assoc. My boss has had an abcessed tooth since last week and nothing is helping it, so it looks like I won't get tomorrow off and I had my baptism counseling scheduled for that day. I really hope my boss gets better, but I am so upset and frustrated. The coworker works part-time until 3 pm everyday to be able to pick up her young son & that's when by appointment is! Why can I not look up in the Yellow Pages to find someone to baptize me at 10:00 p.m.? Will definitely pray to God to help me get baptized and to give me patience. I'm going to call the preacher back & see if he would see me later if I can't make it.
Thanks again for the inspirational message this a.m.
Keeping you in my prayers!

Thanks for encouraging me & praying for me, Sassy! Since I can't move up there by you, it's the next best thing to being there with you.

We could start a new ministry...drive thru lunch hour baptisms!
I'm just teasing you, ya know. I think it really says something about your commitment to get baptized...you're willing to just go do it!
Patty was right...it's NEVER about you and always about everyone else there. And I don't think I need to tell you how I feel about THAT!
It will work out Kit Kat. Hang in there!
Love ya,
Sassy
Good luck & God be with you. I'll ask Him to send you an Angel to look after you and protect you while you go through this. I have found the closer I get to God the harder the evil one trys to get in the way. Have you ever read the book of Job in the Bible, it is mainly about how the devil trys to tear us away from our relationship with God.
Keep us informed. My prayers are with you. May God bless you, keep you, and protect you.
You're the best, Sassy - thanks for being so there for me!
Hugs,
Kat

P.S. Congratulations on your baptism. I DO believe in its importance and yes, I have read the book of Job. The evil one tries his hardest to come between God and His own.
As a fellow lefty, I have no doubt that you will make this happen, Kat! ;-)
