I...As I read this post, I started praying for you. <br />I'm glad you have found new purpose.<br />And yes, I have reinvented mine a few times, and I'm not sure I have my current reason worded exactly write. I write to inspire and encourage young people between 11-18, with a secondary audience of adults. I write to show women (of faith or in secular places) can overcome tough situations. Hmm. That's not exactly what I wrote at my blog, but here's another thing I forgot to mention there. I write to give refuge to those in need of escape from their daily lives. <br />I pray you will find your reason and press into it.
