Understanding your purpose in life

10
In Gods Way

A friend asked me this morning if I have ever thought about what my purpose was here on Earth. We know we are here to love and to serve God, but what exactly am I supposed to do to fulfill this life? I thought for a minute and said yes, I've wondered what I am here for, but honestly I never wonder long. Why?

The bible directs us to follow Him, ask Him for guidance, obey His will, and seek Him. It also says do not worry. So, if I'm wondering what my purpose is, isn't that also worrying if I am doing what God wants me to be doing? It also opens up a whole lot of worry some questions like should I actually be doing what I am doing? Is this job the right job? Am I raising my kids right? Etc.

God knows your purpose, He knows what you are designed and destined for. Our trust in Him is what guides us. Yes, we are curious, yes that's natural, but our answers lie in prayer and in the bible. Not within our own questions. Even then, we may not get an answer, or the answer we necessarily like, but above all our trust in him is what pulls us through. Our trust that we are on the right track.

Surrendering to anyone's will can be a hard decision, but surrendering to Gods will be an easy one, he created you to be great, to be loving, and to follow Him and let him guide you. How awesome is that? He knows your whole life, he's created you breathed life into you, and is there whenever you need him. Just call on him.

There is no need to wonder. There is no need to worry. You are already purposeful.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
