does it really matter?

"Our greatest fear as individuals should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter." T. Kizziar

who are you? and why are you here?

have you ever asked yourself these questions? who are you? what is your purpose? when you wake up every morning, what makes you be able to get out of bed? what motivates you and drives you? do you even have motivation? why are you on this earth? why are you in the city that you live in? why do you spend time with the people that you do? why do you watch the shows and movies that you watch? why do you eat what you eat? why do you buy things that you buy?

these are all questions i am trying to ask myself daily. i don't remember every day, but i want to live a life full of purpose. Ephesians 2:10 says that we were created "to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." i believe that my life and your life was not created by accident or randomly. God had a reason for putting me in the life i am in. i want to be ready and open to what God wants of me every day, in every decision i make. i did not say that i always do this, i said i want to. i desire to give God glory from my words and actions and decisions. God is everything. i believe this and want it to change how i live each moment. God help me not to be selfish, help me not to forget you. I don't want to waste my life. God help me to remember that this life is not about me. this life is about you Jesus.

"what is your life? you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." james 4:14b
