The pull between your children and your purpose out in the world …
April 22nd, 2006
Garret,
I have just recently bought your book and am a few chapters in. It’s great, I find it very inspiring and motivating. It’s nice to know that this fire I feel inside can be put to good use. I know this internal energy I have always had will be of good use to the world. It’s just trying to find that outlet to let yourself shine. I guess I haven’t found my niche just yet but I’m sure it will come (I’m only 34). Believe me though my life so far has been great, yes ups and downs, but all in all great. My energy is being used for my gorgeous three children who are all very active. I realize one of my purposes was for me to have the children I have but I also think there’s more. Anyways enough about me. I just was going to compliment you on a great book (so far) and a brilliant web movie. It’s seriously amazing and inspiring.
Sincerely, Reese
Thank you, Reese.
You are doing AWESOME if you already have three gorgeous children by age 34. Celebrate that accomplishment, for that is a mighty one indeed!
I know what it’s like to feel that pull between your devotion to your children and your need to express yourself out in the world. The key here is balance and patience. Your children are your greatest teachers right now. They are helping you learn what it is you’ll need for your next purpose. Enjoy your children and relish in their beauty, because their beauty will inspire you to discover all your greatest outlets. It is the love you have for your babies that really makes you shine. And then when you are ready, you will have all that brilliant light and love, that your children are showing you right now, to pour into your next calling.
Enjoy those little teachers of yours,
Garret

Reese and all who read this. Let me say that your kids are such a valuable part of our lives. They teach us many things as they grow up. My prayer and my hope is that you will teach them right from wrong in this world of ours and take them to church. Then if something unspeakable happens, you will know that your kids are taken care of. I lost my oldest 3 1/2 years ago in a car accident. We had been the best parents we could to him and his two younger brothers, but my greatest consolation in this sad ordeal is knowing I spiritually took care of my son and he is in Heaven…when a butterfly comes into your South Dakota kitchen in December on the 21st birthday of your deceased son, you know you just got a mighty message. It gave me peace then and still today. I am sure they are your most valuable possession. Best of luck! A Mother who Lost a Dear Child
