I think Sunday is the best day to discuss fulfillment. It is the day that most people head to church to re-center themselves around God and their spiritual condition.
Money, power, spiritual growth... In what do we find fulfillment? Or what should we find fulfilling?
As I look at my family, I have a wonderful wife and two young children. My little boy is a year-and-a-half and he is full of energy. He finds fulfillment in the simple things: looking at a book, listening to music, playing with his toys. I find my greatest fulfillment in seeing smiles on my wife's and kids' faces (my baby girl is very smiley!)
But I also find fulfillment in writing. Through writing I can express my heart. I can relieve it of its pain, rejoice in good times, etc. I can take readers on a spiritual journey that is part of everyday life. I want readers to learn through the fictional characters in my stories. I want them to consider: how they treat people, and whether they stand firm on their principles.
"This life is only a vapor. It will soon pass. Only what is done for Christ will last." -unknown source
I cannot remember where I heard that, but it is so terribly true.
Consider today: How do you find fulfillment?

Fulfillment is found in pursuing God's purpose in the world. ^_^ And if God's purpose for me is to write, then I write.
