I’m trying to align the actions I take everyday to the bigger purpose that God has for my life. It’s easy to wake up each day and just do what I did yesterday. Before I know it, months or years may go by and I may have not used the time I had to focus on that which was most important. I don’t want to simply pass the time comfortably – I want to live with intention and in alignment with what my creator, God, made me to do. To do so, I need to understand what my purpose is. It seems possible that broadly speaking, my purpose may be consistent throughout my entire lifetime. When I look at specific tasks however, those things may change based on the specific points in my lifetime. I will therefore make a distinction between lifetime purpose, and purpose today, with the latter being more specific to my current situation and the former expected to be an ongoing purpose, regardless of time.
