Purpose

Purpose is a result, end, aim or goal of an action intentionally undertaken,
 or of an object being brought into use or existence-

What is my purpose?

I want my purpose to be reflective of what God's purpose

is for me and my life.

I have been job hunting since August and haven't had much luck.

I have been praying about this and have come to the conclusion
 that if God wanted me to have a job right now,
 I would have a job right now.
So, then what is my purpose right now?
While my husband is out of state working,
I know
my purpose is to keep our home running as smoothly as possible.
I have also crashed head on in to the topic of bullying,
and feel like my purpose is to bring more light
to this subject.

So do not be foolish but learn what the Lord wants you to do.
Ephesians 5:17

This is not always an easy task.
Sometimes we fight, we hide, we disagree with what our purpose is.

If we are to be true to ourselves, to others,
we have to find out what our purpose is and then go and do and be what
we are meant to be.
It is also our privledge to help our children
recognize their purpose.

I know that I want to bless others. I want to share my heart.
 I want to listen, to love, to help.
I think that is a good place to start.


"Help"

 
Don't you love helping others?. The Lord gave me a servants heart and I so want to use it.  It gives me purpose. 

I am not always successful, but I love to  help.

Many years ago, this was to my decline.  I helped others so that I didn't have to focus on me.  Well isn't that the point. What good would the world be if we focused on ourselves? Well,

I believe the world would be good. I think we need to focus on ourselves at some point in order to figure out who we are and what exactly is our purpose here? 

What am I supposed to be doing? How am I to help others? How can I best serve?

We need to know ourselves, not to know our limits but to understand that there are no limits,  that there is no ceiling.
God lavishes His love on His children who place their faith in Him. Because of nothing except God's extreme love, we've been given an incredible position that few understand, and even fewer live in.  The enemy clearly wants to keep this hidden.  Romans 8:14-17 and Colossians 3:1-4.

We often create limits for ourselves out of fear.

I don't want my children to be fearful about their future and what they can achieve.

I have talked about worry before, I work on that daily and am still a work in progress. I don't want to be fearful.
If we allow fear, fear of change, the unknown, failure, ridicule, not following what everyone else is doing, our own inadequacies, or dozens of other things- to set the course for our lives, we'll miss many rich, fulfilling opportunities.
This is no easy task. I am fearful sometimes, but today I will also chose to be hopeful. 
I pray your Sunday is rich in God's will for your life and His unfailing love.
