The title of this book was revealed to me through much prayer, reflection, and life experiences. Each of us can probably admit that at one time or another, we've questioned "what is the reason for my existence?" From that question and learning about myself, I discovered my God given talents and gifts. Writing poetry is something I enjoy. Finally I learned to appreciate this gift and asked God to utilize me as he saw fit. As I pondered on the title for this particular poetry collection, I heard these words "The Purpose of Being".
