My life's goals and my purpose.

I have begun to take a look at how I can practically serve God with my life in the place that I am right now... A website I tried recently presented me with a list of questions regarding my Life Purpose and my Goals short term and long term. I'll put the list right here...

My Life Purpose
Describe what you believe is your life purpose. Your purpose is similar to gas in a car. It should be the fuel that drives you to the destination of [Whatever]. It's the motivation that propels you.

Prayerfully consider what matters to you. Consider your relationship with God, with your family and friends, and your service to others.

My relationship with God: I want to keep a tender conscience between myself and God. I want to obey Him, and I want to give God's love to others, by understanding and sharing the gospel and following God.

My relationship with family and friends: My mom and my dad both love me very much. They want the best for me and they want me to be strong, and to be happy. I have two brothers and they are both neat people who I love a lot. God planted me in a church where I made very good friends in Idaho, and I enjoyed being their friends for a long time and I am happy to know them. I no longer live in Idaho, I am living at my parents house in Juneau. God has given me new people to get to know here in Juneau and I want to be their friends.

My service to others: I have found a job delivering news papers here in Juneau, for a couple days out of the week. I am learning, but I have to be aware and careful in my newspaper delivering because I'm not always a careful thinker, but I'm learning! I'm praying that there is some hope for me still... to grow into personhood! I want to be more established and strong in my heart and mind to do hard things for God.

Summary of life purpose: My ultimate purpose is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. I want to walk with the Lord.

If there is a Bible verse that communicates my life purpose, this is it: I forgot.

My Short term Goals:
God: I want to memorize the ten commandments, and I want to practice being a soul winner for God.

Family and friends: I want to love them, honor them, and serve them all, and show them God's love through my actions.

Service to others/ministry: To always be kind and friendly and to always share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everybody that I meet.

Financial (Income, Debt, Savings, Investments, Giving, Spending): I want to give, give, give of everything that God gives to me. God gives to me so that I can give to others! That's just how He works.

Career/Skills: Collecting Christian quotes and interesting websites and relaying them to others via the internet. Cooking amazing food for my parents! Helping my parents repair their house. Driving around town and delivering newspapers like a crazy person. (Ha ha)

General: To have peace with God, in my conscience, and in my heart. To walk in the Spirit, and to sew encouragement in people's hearts.
