Welcome!

This blog is to share my many thoughts on life, education, work, love, and relationships. The title: The NIA Circle is taken from the swhahili term nia which means "purpose". I believe that we are all created by God for a purpose. Secondly, we are all designed to live life on purpose for that purpose. Therefore, the Nia Circle is a place for women (and men) to discuss their multiple purposes in life. As a note: while this blog will not solely focus on Christian ideas and biblical conversation, I am a Christian so my thoughts are informed by my belief in Jesus Christ as my personal savior. My goal is really to have an honest discussion of how to live out God's purposes for us in the world. I hope that you enjoy the discussion.

Scripture References: (New International Version from biblegateway.com)
Philippians 2:13
for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
Exodus 9:16
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.
Psalm 57:2
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills {his purpose} for me.
