My Purpose...

I really wish I could answer that question, but the truth of it is...I still do not know.  I am an assistant principal and love working with people.  One of my greatest qualities is that I love others.  I feel my personal strengths are giving and organizing.  I am hoping through this blog, I will be able to share some of these strengths with you!

I know that God has a divine plan for my life...if he didn't I think I would have made it to heaven a long time ago.  So, I must commit in giving all that I can to serve his purpose.  But, that is where I get really stuck!  What is his purpose for my life? 

"What does the Bible say about how to find purpose in life?"

The Bible shares the story of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived.  In Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 he stated, "Here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil".  My main purpose in this life is to honor God and keep his commandments.  Literally the bible states I should fear God.  For today, I need to put my purpose, as simple as it may be stated, on display.  For, the action and intent are much more complicated.

I pray that you help us Heavenly father to find our purpose in this life.  Keep us safe and watch over us!  Amen
