Hey everyone it's Leslie Liddy hosted the Set-A-Part-Grel podcast biblical encouragement for women of all ages.

Today we're going to talk about purposeful living, but not just any kind of purposeful living,

the biblical approach to purposeful living.

And so often when the world talks to us about purposeful or mindful living, it all has

to do with self.

You deserve a slower life.

You deserve to experience a connection with the earth you deserve to

slow down and enjoy your food you deserve to experience you know your creative side

everything has to do with self and yet the real way to live purposely or

live intentionally or live mindfully is looking beyond yourself and so often

when we get into a selfish mindset,

we can slip into having a lack of purpose in our life.

We might be living mindfully and making all of our food from scratch

and eating slow rather than fast and making everything

homemade for people and being intentional about how we want to, you know, meeting our goals

every single day and keeping a goal planner all of these things that the world suggests that we can do and again

not all of them are bad but if we are not living for something beyond ourselves we are

going to find that our life does not have purpose.

It's not eating too fast or failing to make homemade gifts

or not decorating our homes in a specific way

that is going to cause us to lack purpose

and lack intentionality in our lives.
