Walk With Darrell

Tomorrow we are packing up camp to move on down the road in the RV. I am normally a morning devotion and prayer person, but today I want to wrap up my day with prayer and thanksgiving.

Terri and I participated in a great study a few years ago. Rick Warrens “40 Days of Purpose”, what a great study. The church we were attending had a church-wide study with small groups. Rick’s study guided us in a study of why God created us and what is our purpose in living. Exodus 9:16 16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. Have you ever wondered what God’s purpose is for you i
