Five Ways to Live a Life of Purpose           Living a life of purpose is never easy. It can be tempting to simply drift through life and allow whatever happens to take you wherever it please—in short, to simply go with the flow of life. Yet as people this cheats us from fulfilling ourselves and developing our full potential. It is important we live our life filled with purpose 1. Actively choose!           Living a life of purpose means really choosing to live life to the best it can be. You choose to commit to a purpose—whatever purpose it may be—through thick or thin, because you realize that this purpose has value. For Christians, people have eternal purpose and value—we are made for something far more, and far beyond us and bigger than us in scope. Therefore, if we really wish to pursue this, to be part of something amazing with the rest of the world, we need to actively choose...

            In the midst of today’s busy world where everyone, especially the generation of millennials now finding their way around this world, it can be quite difficult to figure out God’s will. What can one do in line with what God wants to do? This can be a very difficult question to answer—pursuing your purpose that is, hopefully, in sync with God’s purpose for you. Some thoughts on God’s will and purpose             Finding God’s will entails a certain uncertainty. One can never be totally sure that one is following God’s will—but there can certainly be signs that one is on the right track. Signs can be seen when you reflect, through prayer, on your decisions. God nudges you in the right direction, helping you to discern which path to take. How can one know if it is a sign from God or not? Just like any good relationship, where on person knows the other person...

Every human contains a triplex in its nature, the Body, the Soul and the Spirit. The body, or the outer part of a human, is what been used to demonstrate the actions of what's going on inside of the body. In other words, the body is the part of the human that covers the real source of what life is all about. In fact, everything in this world has a body. A vehicle has a body, a building has a body, writing or reading has a body, from music to even liquid has a body. So as we see it, not only humans but objects and things have a body also. But to live spiritually will take more than just the body because the body has no connection that links toward God. Then there is the soul. Not everything has a soul. The soul is placed above, and is independent of all infirmities of the body. For example, a sick person showing signs of weakness is due to the hindrances that interpose themselves between his soul and his body. Concerning the soul, after its separation from the body, it will ...

PURSUE YOUR PURPOSE APPRECIATELIFE      If there was a way, that you could catch time and make it slow down for your purpose , it's possible that when your road comes to an end, the notebook of your life may not be empty. Life is a book with limited pages inside. Each page represents a specific day and time for a special task. You carry this book with you wherever you go and your everyday activities are jotted down. At the end of your journey, your book will be opened and read out loud, so you can hear what you’ve done during your lifetime. You will be evaluated by not how long you’ve lived but by how well you lived and by the works you’ve done. Life should never be based on your material accomplishments. Think about it. Riches are what you have and wealth is who you are. But once you’re gone, they all mean nothing. Of course we don’t want to work hard every day and not see the rewards of our hard work. But remember, success should be attainable but not wo...

In the blink of an eye this can be taken away from you. Yes, we know that there’s a starting and an ending point to our lives, but if you open your notebook of what you’ve accomplished, would you notice an increase in all that God has entrusted to you with? Many times I’ve heard people say, “I wish I could do it all over again,” or “if I had a chance I would do it differently.” Well it’s never too late? If you are still among the living, you have adequate time to accomplish the things that you might’ve missed during your neglected moments.       It was on a  Mother's day  when I decided to take my boys to the cemetery to place flowers on their mom’s grave. While visiting the grave, memories of the past came forward and I began to reflect on how at an early age she was taken away from this world. Dying at the tender age of thirty-six, she did not have enough time to do all that she wanted while she was alive. Yes, there were good and bad times too but I re...
