Purpose Driven Life hmmm

Interesting week to say the least. Much soul searching with my patients. I have begun to take a new approach in my work. I am seeing new ways for seeing many things. I have been sharing a bit more of who I am and what I am going through. I am taking time to get in their heads too. Interesting that most just need an ear. Cleaning many times is just the icing on the cake.
Today I ran across a man who didn't believe in the after life. I listen to his thoughts. I did share with him that I was taking a course at my church called Understanding God. By the end of the appointment, he said that when he returns in the summer he would like a synopsis about what the course was and what I had learned. Seeds again and I will plant them.
Fine line about what you talk to your patients...hmm but look at all the crap they put on the TV and radio. A matter of opinion I think. You can' t listen too a christian station but you can listen do how someone smokes crack. This world just doesn't make any sense. Becoming more and more apparent to me. Choices- we all have them and we all need to make them for ourselves and what we know to be the truth.
I have been dwelling for the last couple of years with where is my purpose. What I am suppose to do to make the difference? Could it be in "just cleaning teeth"? I didn't think so . I always thought I was meant to do something else. Something more worth while. But what, where and when. Never really realizing that I now am doing good work. I don't need to stand out just to stand out. I need to stand out only for him. In standing out for Him, He will show the way to many I come in contact. I think I am starting to get it. I am a good mom. I am a good hygienist. I have purpose. That is a good thing to realize. The funny thing is that
I am the only one that needs to know this.
